The Tri-City Gem and Mineral Society was organized in 1967 by a group of rockhounds. Serving Temple, Belton, Killeen, and all of Bell County, we welcome people of all ages who share an interest in rocks, minerals, and gemstones.
Whether your interest is in finding specimens, working with them to create jewelry and other items, or collecting and displaying your finds, we invite you to attend our meetings, come to our annual gem and mineral show, and join us!
We usually meet the 3rd Saturday of each month, 10:30 a.m. at Covenant Lutheran Church, 4202 Hickory Rd., Temple TX 76502. Visitors are always welcome!
With the holidays in November and December, we are meeting on the 2nd Saturday these two months.
Our next meeting is Saturday, December 14. It will be our annual Potluck Lunch and Gift Exchange.
Please bring a food dish to share, and a geology- or lapidary-related gift ($20 max).
Visitors are invited to come as our guest – no need to bring anything unless you want to.
We hope you will join us!
