 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 are always welcome!

President’s Message

It’s September – a few weeks away from the annual HGMS Gem and Mineral Show.  If you haven’t already, please volunteer to help out during this great event.  Contact Tony Smith via email or phone, contained near the back of the Newsletter, to volunteer.  Also, if you know someone interested in serving on the board, there is still time to submit nominations.  The final nominations will be made at the September Meeting with voting in October.  Thank you, az

 

The Annual Fall Show is October 14 – 16th!
