About KGMS - Knoxville Gem and Mineral Society

We are a group of individuals interested in gems, minerals, the lapidary arts, and fossils. We meet once a month for programs on one of the club interests, for fellowship, and for fun. We have picnics in May and September, and a banquet in December. In other months we monthly meetings, on the 3rd Thursday of the month at 7:30 pm. The Society is open to everyone; children and youth are especially welcome. Field trips are limited to club members only. Club members share their knowledge and friendship with newcomers. If interested in joining contact the Membership Director or look here at our membership page.
