The Connecticut Valley Mineral Club was established in 1940 to stimulate a general interest in minerals and mineral collecting.

Today, the Connecticut Valley Mineral Club continues to fulfill this objective.

We meet on the first Wednesday of each month at 6:30 pm in the Springfield Science Museum, Tolman Wing at the Quadrangle in Springfield, MA. Our meetings include occasional mineral presentations, general club business, and a room full of people willing to help you enjoy mineral collecting. In addition, we sponsor numerous field trips throughout the season and an annual Mineral, Gem, and Jewelry Show (click here for the June 2007 show page).

Directions to our meeting location can be found here.

Here's a sample of minerals our club members have collected:
