TUCSON GEM AND MINERAL SOCIETY, Inc.

Our Purpose is to encourage interest and study in geology, mineralogy, lapidary, and allied earth sciences. The Tucson Gem and Mineral Society, Inc. is a non-profit organization, founded in 1946 by a small group interested in the hobbies of mineral collecting and lapidary. In 1988 we were awarded the 1st Carnegie Mineralogical Award for creating a venue to promote, inform, and educate the mineral community.
