About Southwest Gem & Mineral Society
Southwest Gem & Mineral Society traces its roots to the San Antonio Rock and Lapidary Society (founded 1953), which merged with the Bexar County Mineral Club and was renamed Southwest Gem and Mineral Society in 1973. The club describes its mission as diving into "the glittering universe of gems and minerals, where each rock tells a unique story." It meets at the San Antonio Garden Center and is active on Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter, and TikTok, with the Twitter handle @SWGMS1961 suggesting a 1961 founding reference point distinct from the 1953/1973 history on its own about page.
