This is a Meetup for Rockhounds, Rock & Mineral Collectors, Rock & Gem Artisans and Fossil Collectors to get together to discuss/show Rocks, Minerals, and Fossils, Collecting Sites, Field Trips, (Rock, Mineral, Fossil jewelry making), buying/selling/exchanging and those just interested.

There are many Mineral and Rock Clubs/Societies in our area but there are no clubs dedicated to chatting about Rocks, Minerals, Fossils, and the buying, selling and exchanging (we also do field trips and have discussions on local and long distance field trips).

If you are a Rock, Mineral or Fossil Newbie, you'll love this group. If you are a Rock, Mineral, Fossil enthusiast, please come and share your knowledge.
GOT ROCKS!
We'd like to see them.
NEED ROCKS!
Let's go get some.
Don't forget to check out our Photos page.

Our Meetup meetings are very informal (and free). We have a great group of people with very varied interest. Some are newbies and some posses a vast knowledge base. We learn from each other. Our Meetup location has some equipment for cutting and polishing rocks as well as a stereoscope and mineral books. During the longer days of May-July we start our meetings outside amid a garden of semi-precious and ornate rocks (and I usually fire-up my 10" rock saw for your use).

Please check the calendar often - we will post field trips there.

I hope to see you at one of our upcoming Meetups (the 3rd Thursday of each month).
