Welcome

The Central Pennsylvania Rock and Mineral Club

The Central Pennsylvania Rock and Mineral Club, Inc. was established in 1958 by rock and mineral enthusiasts to: Encourage the interest, enjoyment, and appreciation of members, prospective members, and the public for rocks, minerals, gems, fossils, and the lapidary arts. The Central Pennsylvania Rock and Mineral Club, Inc is a non-profit (501c3) educational organization and is a member of the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies, Inc. and a member of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies. The question asked the most of this website: "Where can I collect?" Join the club! This is not a pitch for new members, it is the best answer. Many sites are never open to the public. Due to our commitment to safety and the fact that clubs like ours carry insurance on each member, quarries and mine dumps often give us occasional access that individuals do not enjoy. Our low membership fee allows you go participate in dozens of field trips each year.
