The Minnesota Mineral Club
The Minnesota Mineral Club is a non-profit organization devoted to the study of Mineralogy, Geology, Paleontology and the Lapidary Arts.  We are an educational group based in the Twin Cities area of Minnesota, although membership is not restricted to residents of Minnesota.  Monthly meetings are open to everyone.  The Minnesota Mineral Club is a member of the Midwest Federation and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies.
