Welcome to the Apache Junction Rock and Gem Club


The Apache Junction Rock and Gem Club is a non-profit 501(c)3 organization established January 19, 1966. We’re a busy club in Apache Junction, AZ, offering field trips from October through April. The Club Lapidary Shop is open year round. Our Youth Program rocks! Members of all ages, enthusiastic rock hounds, are involved in the rock & mineral arts including collecting, lapidary, jewelry making, rock art and crafts and other forms of rock art creation. Our members are interested in passing on their interest and knowledge of these arts to members of the younger generations. Members of all age groups are invited to join us. Learn more about becoming a member here.

The Club has grown and has added more activities every year. If you are interested in joining the fun, you are invited to attend our Monthly Meeting on the 2nd Thursday of each Month September through May at the Club’s Lapidary Shop.
