Who Are We?
Organized in 1963, The Gem, Lapidary, and Mineral Society of Montgomery County Md.,
Inc. is now Incorporated as a 501-C-3 non-profit educational organization. Our purpose
is to increase knowledge and popular interest in earth sciences, geology, mineralogy,

broad cross section of adults, juniors and families with all levels of expertise.
Sharing this common interest, they enjoy the fun of collecting, studying, identifying,
displaying, cutting, polishing, faceting, and sharing.
You need not have a degree in Earth Science or Geology! Current membership is about
141 adults and 17 juniors. We are affiliated with the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical
