About the Program
The Southern Nevada Gem and Mineral Society is a volunteer-run rock and lapidary club with an education center on South Valley View in the 89102 area. It is a nonprofit, and its Kids Club, adult and teen classes and field trips come with membership, so families join first.
A Family membership is $45 a year and covers children and grandchildren under 18, compared with $35 a year for a single adult. That makes the family plan the obvious pick if a child wants to come along. The Kids Club introduces young members to rockhounding and lapidary work, and members guide field trips to scouted spots in Nevada and neighboring states. The club also has a public-access mining claim and geocaches.
Shop classes at the education center are aimed at adults and teens and are paid separately in cash. Silversmithing is on the 2nd and 4th Mondays from 6:30 to 9:30 pm for $35, and faceting on Saturdays from 9 am to 12 pm for $20.00. Email the faceting instructor ahead to check that a machine is free. Monthly meetings on the first Monday at 6 PM welcome visitors, which is an easy way to see the club before paying dues.
