At its annual banquet held recently in Toronto, the Walker Mineralogical Club honored a student from Queen’s University with the Peacock Memorial Prize.
The club awards the prize annually, in the amount of $1,000, to a mineralogy student. This year’s winner, Michael Irwin, is working on his master’s thesis on the Humite group of minerals.
The club, started in 1938, was to provide a forum for anyone interested in mineralogy. Initially, most of its members were students and faculty from the University of Toronto. Now they are professional and amateur mineralogists as well as mineral and crystal collectors.
