MRGC General Meeting

Our General Meetings are held on the 3rd Monday of every month, all year long. Each gathering brings together rock and gem enthusiasts of all ages for an evening of learning, sharing, and community.

We begin with club news and updates, covering upcoming events, field trips, and volunteer opportunities. Then, we move into our Rock of the Month presentation or a guest speaker who shares fascinating insights into geology, lapidary work, or the natural world around us.

Next up is our always-popular Show and Tell, where members share their latest finds, unique specimens, or stories from recent adventures. Whether you’re displaying a rare crystal, a beautiful polished stone, or a mystery mineral waiting to be identified, it’s your chance to shine.

After the presentations, enjoy refreshments, a silent auction, and time to socialize with fellow members. It’s a relaxed and welcoming space to ask questions, trade tips, and connect with others who share your love of all things rock and gem.

And if you linger a little longer in the parking lot… you might discover our “top secret” Rock Swap an informal, after-hours tradition where members barter rocks, fossils, and other treasures straight from the backs of their cars. No money changes hands just good old-fashioned trading, laughter, and stories under the stars.

Each meeting offers something special new knowledge, new friendships, and maybe even a new favorite rock to take home.
