| | Bob's Rock Shop: US Club List |
 | | This online list of over 900 U.S. Gem, Mineral, Lapidary, Fossil, and just about anything to do with rocks clubs, guilds, associations, and societies is compiled and maintained by rockhound Albert Zabinski using many resources. |
 | | Many clubs conduct organized collecting trips, offer classes in the lapidary arts, jewelry making, and other subjects, make club shops, equipment and extensive libraries availble to their members, and organize and promote shows and educational exhibits. |
 | | If you have a newfound or rekindled interest in rocks or the myriad of hobby interests and activities revolving around them, you owe it to yourself to check out and become involved in any local clubs that may be available to you. |
