Central Brevard
Rock & Gem Club

Our
Mission

At the Central Brevard Rock & Gem Club, we rock—literally and creatively! Our mission is to spark curiosity, encourage learning, and foster a welcoming community for anyone fascinated by minerals, gems, fossils, jewelry-making, and the lapidary arts.

 

We support this mission by offering a space where hobbyists, artists, and rockhounds of all experience levels can explore their interests—from cutting and polishing stones to creating unique jewelry through metalwork, wire wrapping, beading, and other techniques. With the guidance of experienced mentors and instructors, members can build their skills through hands-on workshops, engaging programs, and access to shared resources.

 

Beyond skill-building, we also foster opportunities to connect with others who share a passion for Earth’s natural treasures. Whether you’re discovering your first geode or designing a one-of-a-kind piece to share with someone special, there’s always something new to learn, create, and celebrate together.
