What is Central Brevard Rock and Gem Club?

The purpose of this club is to foster interest in and to promote knowledge and appreciation of minerals, gems, fossils, and the earth sciences.We also disseminate information and instruction in the lapidary arts and the utilization of precious metals in our crafts. These purposes are accomplished through regular meetings with informative programs, workshops, study groups, and field trips. Price of classes is dependent on the class taken and materials needed, please see the Instructor for materials/costs.
