About East Coast Gem and Mineral Society
Our History
The East Coast Gem and Mineral Society was founded in 2023 by a group of gem and mineral enthusiasts in Fairfield County, CT, focused on education, fostering camaraderie and geology knowledge exchange. The society has activities such as field trips, educational presentations, and community outreach. Today, it continues to serve as a vibrant hub for gem and mineral enthusiasts, promoting ethical practices and conservation efforts while celebrating the Earth's geological wonders through education.
About our President
Society President, Crystal Moon, a metaphysical healer, had stumbled upon a local Mineral Club show one day, and fell in love with the idea of rockhounding the minerals she used in crystal healing and joined the club. Crystal served 5 years on the executive board and met fellow members who had similar experiences as she. During that time, she also met some fellow Rockhounds while Herkimer Diamond hunting in NY and shared such a tight bond with these Mineral Missfits she came up with the idea to form a mineral Society including them, and other like minded folks for the purpose of mineral education while having fun, digging all over the USA and having everybody feel like they belong.
Our Vision
We are East Coast Gem & Mineral Society, a group of Rockhound Souls whom share the same love of Gemstones, Mineralogy, Fossils, Crystal Digging and Healing Education.
Our motto is “Let’s Just Dig”.
It’s about the energy, the bond, the camaraderie, sisterhood, brotherhood… appreciation of Mother Earth and what it provides for us to learn and love. Our Mineral Society is a “no nonsense” just-get-your-hands-in-the-earth and enjoy-what-God-and-the-universe-has-created Group of people.
We responsibly search and collect rocks, minerals, crystals, fossils and all things beautiful from the Universe, for educational purposes
We host at least one Annual Gem & Mineral event per year, and depend on all members to volunteer.
We expect everyone to contribute to the Society in some manner that helps, as it’s about balance… we take from the Earth and must give back in some manner. We join together to have fun and learn about these beautiful treasurers
