Interested?
Gem and Mineral Societies are FAMILY organizations. Our
members would love for you to come and visit a meeting. If you have questions
about the hobby, we'll be happy to answer as best we can.
If you want to learn one of the lapidary skills, our club
members love to teach new hobbyists. If you would like to attend a gem and
mineral show, our clubs have many scheduled. Some will be near you.

if you’d like to see if you might be a rockhound.

Contact the State Director below, for your state, for
information about clubs you might visit and the towns where they are. It is very
likely there is one near you. Also check the list of member clubs on another
page. If you live in a state not listed, go to
