The Carmel Valley Gem and Mineral Society is a non-profit, educational organization dedicated to promoting the study of mineralogy and geology; to encourage the collecting of specimens and the practice of the lapidary arts; to promote field excursions to mineral locations and further the education of all.
CVGMS is a group of individuals with a common interest in the various aspects of the earth sciences and lapidary arts as applied to minerals and fossils and gems and jewelry. CVGMS was formed in 1954 as a California corporation meeting originally in Carmel Valley, California. Meetings were also held in Carmel and Monterey until a relationship was established with the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural history where the members currently meet monthly. Member meetings are open to the public.
Our meetings are held at the Pacific Grove Museum of Natural History on the second Friday of every month at 7:00 p.m.
