About Cape Atlantic Rockhounds Inc

Cape Atlantic Rockhounds, founded in 1961, calls itself "a family club for rock hounds" serving Mays Landing, New Jersey and the surrounding Cape/Atlantic County area. Members learn geology, collecting, cutting and polishing, and wire wrapping. The club is affiliated with the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies (EFMLS) and hosts an annual Gem & Mineral Show & Sale each spring at the Atlantic County 4-H Fairgrounds, with free admission and parking. Note: the club's own placeholder website lists a 2014 date where a founding year would typically appear; EFMLS's federation records instead cite 1961.
