Recently, our study of natural resources in British Columbia led us to looking at specific types of rocks and minerals. We then began investigating some of the gemstones that are found in our province. Each student spent some time researching a specific gemstone and creating a one page visual. Using maps of British Columbia, they found the location of the gemstone deposits. Then, they found an interesting fact about their gemstone and drew an illustration of it in either its raw or refined form. These pages have been sent to MineralsEd where some may be chosen to appear in next years’ calendar.
