Our purpose is to encourage interest and study in geology, mineralogy, lapidary, and allied earth sciences. The Tidewater Gem and Mineral Society is a non-profit organization, founded in 1959 by a small group interested in the hobbies of mineral collecting and lapidary.
Meetings:
Society meetings start at 7:00 p.m. and are held the third Friday of each month (except December) on the property of the Calvary Temple located at 5639 Brickell Road in Norfolk, Virginia.
Affiliations:
