Our History                 Next Meeting                  Newsletters


The Huntsville Gem and Mineral Society (HGMS) is a non-profit educational organization for people interested in mineralogy, geology, paleontology, lapidary arts and related fields.  Our primary purpose is to educate our members and the general public in these areas.  We accomplish this by presenting programs, shows and lectures (to school children and organizations); hosting field trips; and exchanging rocks, minerals and fossils.

We have regular monthly meetings, and special annual events, such as the Fundraising Auction, the Picnic and Rock Swap, the Gem, Jewelry, and Mineral Show (the largest in North Alabama), and the Christmas Dinner.  Plus, HGMS members have access to a state-of-the-art lapidary shop and to jewelry crafting activities, such as wire working and metalsmithing.

Guests and Visitors Always Welcome!

 

Welcome to the new normal!  But I hope not for long.  But not to worry!  The board has already met and discussed how to squeeze in all we are missing during this down time as soon as we can return to the old normal.  We will do our best to reschedule the auction without impacting the picnic or the show this fall.  And I can’t wait to get back to the lab to cut and polish some rocks, make some jewelry and wire wrap a cabochon or two!  Don’t worry, we will get back there just as soon as possible as well.  Until then, be safe, keep your distance and clean, clean, clean.  And we will see you soon!  Mike Harrison!

As city closures continue due to the concern about the spread of the COVID-19 virus, the Huntsville Gem and Mineral Society has decided to cancel our annual fundraiser auction normally held at the Jaycee Community Building.  A possible online auction is under consideration.
