Rock and Mineral Clubs in the United States
Let Us Know About Your Rock and Mineral Club!
Joining a rock club is a great way to meet other people in your area with similar interests. You can also learn new skills, since some clubs offer classes in things like cabochon cutting, faceting, wire wrapping, and more, and they have a workshop with equipment available to members. Field trips to rock and mineral collection sites are another benefit of being a club member. Many of the clubs listed on this page have monthly meetings which are open to the public, so you can stop by and check out a meeting without cost or obligation.
