Club Mission Statement:  The Big Rapids Rock, Gem and Mineral Club is a group of like-minded, dues paying enthusiasts dedicated to learning, sharing and promoting the club’s interests and mutual objectives.  These interests include but are not limited to earth science, geology, mineralogy, paleontology, archaeology and the lapidary arts.

Club Purpose: The mission can ultimately be achieved by enlisting the experience, talent, knowledge and efforts of the clubs members to promote, organize, manage and support each other toward the mission statement goals.  The Big Rapids Rock, Gem and Mineral Club encourages the responsible and safe collecting and display of specimens. The Club conducts meetings, lectures, displays and field trips of mineralogical, geological or lapidary interest. The absolute best resource for every club is the many talents of its membership

About Us: Individually, some of us collect rock, mineral or fossil specimens, others cut stones to create cabochons, facet gemstones, do metal work and make jewelry. Many of us like field prospecting and being just plain rock hounds. We have young kindergarten students, college students, working adults and retirees as members of our Club.

Our Club was established in 2009. We are members of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies and the Midwest Federation of Mineralogical and Geological Societies. Click on their logo to go to their websites.
