Established in 1947, the Club is a nonprofit organization dedicated to the earth sciences, local geology, mineralogy, and mining history, as well as rock hounding, lapidary, metal and enamel arts. We offer an annual gem show, and the only fully equipped open art studio for lapidary and metal arts in this region. Members enjoy field trips, camping, hiking, special events, classes, skill development, and turning beautiful finds into polished stones and finished jewelry.

New Building in the Works
Our lapidary and metal art studio is 100 years old and near the end of its life. The Club is hard at work to secure a new facility to serve future generations of art and science enthusiasts. Track our progress on the New Building Page. |
