SOUTHWEST GEM & MINERAL SOCIETY

The Southwest Gem and Mineral Society is a member of the American Federation of Mineralogical Society. Our club has monthly meetings, field trips and many other interesting activities. Inside this pamphlet you will find more information about our society along with a list of activities enjoyed by members. We hope that being a member of the SWGMS will be a rewarding and fun filled experience for you. The rewards are greatly intensified by your level of activity. We look forward to seeing you at our next meeting and hopefully you become an active member... Our mission, as a nonprofit organization, is to promote interest, foster knowledge, and provide education in the Earth Sciences. We strive to bring together a community of persons with common interest to share in the appreciation of minerals, fossils, archaeology, paleontology, general geology and lapidary arts... The Southwest Gem and Mineral Society was first founded as the San Antonio Rock and Lapidary Society on July 27, 1953...
