Welcome to Our Club
Discover the Magic of Minerals
Our club has been in existence since 1962 and we'd love to introduce you to the magic of minerals and how you can start a new hobby.
We are the Cape Town Gem & Mineral Club — a Non-Profit Organisation, officially registered as the Mineralogical Society of Southern Africa. Our purpose is to educate people about the Earth Sciences.
