The Northern Virginia Mineral Club was begun in the mid 1950's with the aim of promoting members' shared fascination with and learning about minerals, geology, and related topics. The club has organized countless field trips to mines and quarries over the years, organized mineral shows, educational activities, various interesting speakers, and much more.
The club promotes, educates and encourages interest in geology, mineralogy, lapidary arts and related sciences, and is a member of the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies.
