From knowledge center Stack of Stones (Stapel van Stenen), we offer lectures<\/strong>, workshops<\/strong> and guest lectured<\/strong> on minerals, gemstones, rocks, volcanoes and geological journeys. The offer is suitable for various target groups, from geological societies and schools to stores, day care centers, companies and private groups. <\/p>

For geological societies, there are substantive lectures on mineralogy, geological processes, ‘scammite’ and geological travels. For a broader interested audience, such as Rotary, Probus, libraries, women’s clubs and other civic organizations, the travel lectures, volcano lectures and general lectures on minerals and gemstones are especially appropriate. <\/p>

Workshops are also available for schools, stores, wholesalers, healthcare facilities and private groups. These can focus on knowledge transfer, product knowledge, identification of minerals and gemstones or a general introduction to the world of geology and stones. <\/p>

Check the calendar<\/a> for scheduled activities or contact us to discuss options for your club, school, organization or group.<\/p>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t

Choose the offer that suits your group<\/strong><\/h3>

Most of the lectures and workshops will be given by Rolf Egberink<\/a><\/strong>, founder of Stapel van Stenen. This draws on over forty years of experience as a collector of minerals and rocks, a background in education, his own research into minerals and gemstones, publications, courses and geological trips. <\/p>

During lectures and workshops, own photographs, geological maps, books, practical examples and stones from the collection are used to clarify topics.<\/p>

Lectures last on average two hours including breaks, but content and duration can be adapted to the target audience, knowledge level and time available. Activities are possible on location in the Netherlands and Belgium, online via Zoom or at Stapel van Stenen in Maastricht. <\/p>

Lectures and workshops can be provided in English and Dutch. For specific topics, Stapel van Stenen can also mediate to an expert speaker or specialist from its own network if required. <\/p>

Mineralogical and geological topics<\/strong><\/h3>

These lectures are particularly suitable for collectors, members of geological societies and other interested parties who want to learn more about minerals, rocks and geological processes. In doing so, we use a down-to-earth and factual approach: what do you see, how did it originate and how do you recognize what you have in your hands? <\/p>
