Intergenerational Connection and Learning

We are an educational, friendly club of all ages and experience who enjoy a shared interest in earth science, gems, minerals, fossils, lapidary work, making jewelry, and more.

Our club is located in Siloam Springs, Arkansas where our members attend monthly meetings with speakers on various topics of interest regarding gems, minerals, earth science, fossils, lapidary work, jewelry creation and more. Members also have use of a wonderful fully-equipped workshop and have the opportunity to participate in field trips.

Our monthly meetings are open to the public. We meet on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 7:00 pm in our clubhouse at 15048 Highway 43, Corner of Highway 43 and Lawlis Road, Siloam Springs, AR
