About Us

The Culver City Rock and Mineral Club (CCRMC) promotes education, knowledge and skills development in the earth sciences and lapidary arts.   Our interests include mineralogy, paleontology, cutting, faceting, polishing, casting, metalsmithing, and field collecting for rocks, minerals, fossils and artifacts.

CCRMC is a non-profit California corporation founded in 1960.   We are sponsored by the Culver City Human Services Department and are a member of both the California Federation of Mineralogical Societies and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies.

The Club operates a fully equipped lapidary shop for use by members, publishes a monthly bulletin called The Nugget, and organizes frequent field trips to local collecting areas.   CCRMC sponsors the popular Fiesta of Gems Rock and Mineral Show each summer, and the Club maintains an extensive library of books and videotapes for loan - free of charge to its members.

CCRMC invites you to join us at one of our future meetings.   Please send us an email for any questions.
