The Birthstone for June: Pearl

The June birthstone pearl, has long been a symbol of purity. The ancient Greeks believed that the pearls were the hardened tears of joy from the goddess of Aphrodite, the goddess of love. Alexandrite and Moonstone are also June birthstones.
From The President's Desk:
Hello Rockhounds, Welcome to June! Seems like I always start with a weather report . It's starting to feel like summer is upon us after some warmer heat waves last month. Be prepared and ready for sun block days. We have selected two MMLS scholarship candidates from Oakland University. The two young women have worked to earn the awards and the monies to aid in pursuing their careers. We would welcome Olivia Laconis and Melissa Dunsmore to attend a future meeting to meet with us if they are able and in our area. This is the half year of 2022 and then we shut down for our summer. I would believe that we as members have goals to meet and collection sites to visit and travels and events to new places in and out of our State Michigan. I wish you all safe and prosperous collecting and fun. See you in the fall with your memories to show and tell. -Prez Dan
