Use your gems from the Tellus Science
Museum Gem Panning Experience—
or your own personal collection—and
match them to the chart.
A good rock collection can be displayed
on the chart, a piece of fabric, in a box,
on a shelf, or even in a drawer!
ALWAYS ask permission and NEVER
go collecting by yourself!
BECAUSE SCIENCE MATTERS!
