Petrified Wood
Welcome Friends
and Future Rockhounds
The Ginkgo Mineral Society was formed in 1949 by a like-minded group of friends.
They:
- enjoyed spending time outdoors.
- appreciated the majesty of nature.
- liked collecting, cutting, and polishing rocks.
These are the primary reasons the Club still exists today.
Our mission: The Ginkgo Mineral Society was formed to promote the education of mineralogy and geology; to encourage the collecting of rocks and minerals; to provide field excursions to mineral collecting areas; and to promote interest in lapidary work.
Meetings are held monthly for sharing stories of rockhounding adventures,
for displaying the latest finds and projects, and for enjoying each others fellowship.
