This directory of gem, mineral, and fossil clubs is arranged by location to help readers find the clubs nearest them. Clubs located in the United States appear first under state and then city; those abroad appear under country, province or state, and city as applicable. Available addresses (zip codes appear in parentheses) and phone and fax numbers are given for all clubs, as well as president names and meeting times and places. Many of these organizations offer instruction in the gem and jewelry arts. Additions and corrections for inclusion in the Annual Buyers' Directory are welcome. Please send them to Club Listings, Lapidary Journal, 300 Chesterfield Parkway, Suite 100, Malvern, PA 19355; phone (610) 232-5700; fax (610) 232-5754; e-mail our website editor to update the club listings anytime. Many U.S. clubs are affiliated with a regional branch of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS; see Associations, page 206). Regional groups are abbreviated as (C), California Federation of Mineralogical Societies; (N), Northwest Federation of Mineralogical Societies; (R), Rocky Mountain Federation of Mineralogical Societies; (M), Midwest Federation of Mineralogical and Geological Societies; (S), South Central Federation of Mineral Societies; (E), Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies; or (SE), Southeast Federation of Mineralogical Societies. Clubs not affiliated with any federation are denoted as independent by (I). |
