This is a program about gemstones. Rocks and minerals are all over the world no matter where you come from. Join Hancock Park Districts to take a look at and identify different rocks and minerals as we explore how they were formed and what makes them special. Learn how to make rock candy to enjoy. Kids will get a gem of their own to take home to add to their collection.
