                                              A Little About Us

Picture
The Chesapeake Gem & Mineral Society is a Baltimore, MD based non-profit organization whose members share an interest in gems, minerals and fossils and rocks to name just a few. We are a  member of the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical &  Lapidary Societies (EFMLS) and affiliated with the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS).

Our meetings normally include either a featured speaker or an auction (March, June and October). Visitors are always welcome!  Field trips are arranged for the warmer months and we sponsor a one day mineral show in May.   Our monthly club bulletin, Chippers' Chatter, provides information about club activities and includes educational articles.

We look Forward to Seeing You!

Meetings are held at 7:30 pm on the 2nd Friday of each month except July and August at the Westchester Community Center, 2414 Westchester Ave; Oella, MD (if using GPS use Ellicott City)
