About Us   The Gold Coast Gem & Mineral Society is a group of congenial people who all share a love of nature and its creation. Rock-hounding, mineral collecting, fossiling, geology, mineralogy, gemology, crystallography, and the metal arts are some of the fields enjoyed by members.   Within the membership are both amateurs and professionals who practice silver/goldsmithing, wire wrapping, faceting, cabochon cutting, stone tumbling, rock carving, beading, lamp working (fusing glass), metal casting, stain glass making, and other disciplines.
