Welcome to Our Website!
The Huntsville Gem and Mineral Society (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 crafting, lapidary arts, and related interests. 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!
We’re located at the HGMS Education Center at 7901 Bailey Cove Road, SE, Huntsville, AL. We meet at 6:30p on the 4th Tuesday of each month. We serve all of North Alabama, and visitors are welcome including children and youth ages 8 – 18. Ask us for a tour of our facility! There’s something for everyone in HGMS and many activities for the whole family to enjoy!
