The Chief Joseph Gem and Mineral Club is made up of a group of individuals who share common interests in rocks, gems, minerals, rock hounding, geology, and lapidary work. The group meets once a month to plan field trips, look at specimens people bring in, and share experiences. Take a look around our site to learn more about us!

The Club is to promote the education of mineralogy and geology, encourage the collecting of rocks and minerals, provide field excursions to mineral collecting areas, and promote interest in lapidary work.
