Montana State Parks (stateparks.mt.gov) announced the sixth edition of its Friday Evening programs will be held this Friday, June 30th from 8 to 9pm.
Montana has produced more sapphires than any other state and continues to produce sapphires from placer deposits in southwestern Montana. Sapphires are mined from the Rock Creek district west of Philipsburg and from deposits along Hauser Lake in the Helena area.
Tonight, we will learn from Dick Berg. Dick has been here with us in the past and we are happy to have him again! He will be joining us from the Montana Bureau of Mines and Geology and Montana Tech.
