About Chesapeake Gem & Mineral Society

Chesapeake Gem & Mineral Society is a Baltimore-based nonprofit dedicated to gems, minerals, fossils, and rocks. Founded in 1961, the organization joined EFMLS in 1962 and is also affiliated with AFMS. The club meets monthly, except in July and August, with regular speaker presentations, member auctions, and a monthly newsletter called "Chippers' Chatter." Field trips run during the warmer months, and the society hosts a one-day club show each spring at the Howard County Fairgrounds. Meetings are open to visitors.
