Welcome!

Welcome to the online home of the Central Dakota Gem & Mineral Society (CDG&MS).  We are a rock club based out of Bismarck, ND, but have numerous members from around the state.  This website, along with our Facebook page, are great ways to stay current on what we have been doing.  The CDG&MS is a group of people with a diverse interest in all things rock, gem, mineral, lapidary, geocaching, fossils, wire-wrapping, and more.  The club is affiliated with the Rocky Mountain Federation of Mineralogical Societies (RMFMS), and the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS).

Next Meeting: May 5 – Steve Fasching & the Rocky Mountain Federation of Mineralogical Societies
