    About Us

    The club's history goes all the way back to February 21, 1949 when a group of 14 invited guests interested in collecting, cutting and polishing gem stones and fashioning them into jewelry met at the home of Mr. Lynn H Collar. Officers were elected and the name "MIAMI MINERAL AND GEM SOCIETY OF MIAMI, FLORIDA" was selected. Over the years reorganization, adjustments, incorporations and mergers have evolved us into the club we are now.

    We formally incorporated and received 501 (c) (3) status in 1972.
