HUNTSVILLE GEM AND MINERAL SOCIETY

     Welcome to the Huntsville Gem and Mineral Society Website!   

The HGMS was incorporated in 1965 as a non-profit 501(c)(7) educational organization for people interested in the earth sciences. Our purpose is to promote the knowledge and enjoyment of rocks, gems, minerals, fossils, jewelry making, lapidary arts, and related interests. We serve all of North Alabama, and we welcome all ages and members of other gem, mineral, and fossil societies! There’s something for everyone and activities for the whole family to enjoy!

We offer programs at our monthly Member Meetings; give presentations to school children and local organizations; exchange rocks, minerals, and fossils among members; host field trips; share our Newsletters with other rock clubs; and share information about our club at local Community events. The HGMS is located in Huntsville, Alabama. We welcome members of all ages (including children and youth ages 8 – 18).
