We are    collectors of minerals and fossils and craftsmen in many types of lapidary arts.    Knowledge, skill, and areas of interest are the rock hound’s choice. Some of us    are purists, who insist on doing all of our collecting and work in specialized fields;    others go for variety and buy or trade for much of our collections. Some of us    also enjoy showing our collections; competing with others or just showing for the    pleasure it gives others or ourselves. Perhaps we can help you determine or expand    your interest in rocks and the earth sciences.  AGMS was formed in the mid to    late 1950’s just for this reason.       Austin Gem & Mineral Society (AGMS)     AGMS is organized within the meaning of Section 501 (c)(3)   of the Internal Revenue Code.   Membership Application     for an example of club activities please view New Members Information    for current functions please visit a club meeting.

Whether you enjoy going into a jewelry store or gem show and picking out a lovely finished piece, or collecting the material to make it yourself, it is all part of the same hobby. The Earth Sciences are a wide range of studies from Volcanism (study of volcanoes), Geology (the rocky parts of the Earth’s crust and it’s historic development), connected to this are Mineralogy, Petrology, Geomorphology, Paleontology (Pre-historic life/fossils), Structural Geology, Engineering Geology and Sedimentology.    Our club touches on each of these, but it does so much more. It brings together novice and expert alike, who have the same interests. It gives members the opportunity to collect specimens, learn about how they are formed, and perhaps how to make them into wearable art.    You don’t have to know anything about the Geo-sciences,  just have an interest in any part of the hobby. Whether it be collecting, identification, wire-wrapping, faceting, or cabbing, there is something to pique almost everyone’s interest. ETGMS is a 501 (C) (3) non-profit organization with regular monthly meeting that are open to the public.    We encourage people to become members of ETGMS.
