The Delvers Gem & Mineral Society meets the 2nd Friday of each month (except December) in Bellflower, California. Visitors are always welcome. The club was founded in 1948 to promote education in the earth sciences and lapidary arts. Our monthly meetings features educational programs, refreshments, and good fellowship.

We are an organization dedicated to the study of Gems and Minerals. Our Society is open to all people, young and old, who share an interest in the study of Rocks, Gems, Minerals, Fossils and the Lapidary Arts. We have been located in El Cajon, CA. since 1959.

We strive to promote the common good and general welfare of the people within the community by giving them an opportunity to study and collect Gems, Minerals and Fossils. We also enjoy sharing our knowledge of the lapidary arts with the groups within our community.

The FGMS was founded in 1957 and consists of a group of individuals who share common interests in gems, minerals, jewelry, geology, paleontology and the related earth sciences and lapidary arts.The Society is based in Fallbrook, San Diego County, California -- just a "stone's throw" from some of the most productive gem mining areas in the United States. You won't believe what we've been hiding in Fallbrook!

The goal of the San Diego Mineral and Gem Societies' Museum is to help people gain a better understanding and appreciation of minerals, gems, fossils and the lapidary arts. Our museum is located in the San Diego Mineral & Gem Society building adjacent to the Spanish Village Art Center at Balboa Park, San Diego, California. The Museum features many fine mineral, gem, lapidary and fossil specimens from around the world. The collection has been assembled over the last 75 years through purchases and donations. Admission to the Museum is free.

The San Diego Mineral & Gem Society building is located at the northwest corner of Spanish Village in Balboa Park, between the San Diego Zoo to the north and the Natural History Museum to the south. Access from Village Place. (Note: the road between Otto Center and Spanish Village is an alley, signage: "no pedestrians").
