About us

The El Dorado Mineral and Gem Society of Placerville, California, was founded in January 1949. The club's purpose is to learn about and share interests in rocks, minerals, fossils, earth sciences, and the lapidary arts.

The club holds monthly meetings, has a junior program and sponsors a variety of special events including field trips, lapidary classes, an annual rock and gem show and hosts the county fair mineral displays.

The club members also publish a
monthly Newsletter, which is free to its members. Current activities of the club can be found on this web site.

In its support of earth science education, the club contributes to its college scholarship fund, and club members make presentations at local elementary schools and shares rock and material with them.

General meetings are open to the public and are held at the Senior Center, 937 Spring Street, Placerville, California, 7:00 P.M., on the 3rd Tuesday of each month (except July and December when special meetings are held).

The Society is a non-profit organization.  It is affiliated with the California Federation of Mineralogical Societies and is a member of the El Dorado County Chamber of Commerce.
