We are a group of hobbyists and professionals that have come together to share our love of rocks, gems, minerals, fossils, jewelry, and specimen collection. We have monthly meetings with an educational program, rock auction, door prizes, raffles and a business meeting. Currently our meetings are at 870 Corporate Drive Suite 104 in Lexington, KY. We meet the third Sunday of every month at 1:00 PM. Seating is limited so bring a comfortable chair.
We encourage rock enthusiasts to join us at our meetings. We also lead monthly field trips for members to various sites around Kentucky and the surrounding region.

2025 DUES UPDATE
At our August 18, 2024 club meeting the members voted to reduce the club membership from the previous $25 a year for new members to $20 per year. This also means if you forget to renew a current membership by December 31st, the renewal fee will be just $20. Remember if you are late in your renewal your name will be taken off the newsletter email and you would not be able to attend any of our field trips because of insurance regulations.
