Welcome!
The California Federation of Mineralogical Societies (CFMS) was organized
in 1936 to bring about a closer association of Clubs and Societies devoted to the study of Earth Sciences and the practice of
Lapidary Arts and Crafts in the Western part of the United States.
CFMS is an umbrella organization for gem, mineral and lapidary
societies, as well as prospecting and treasure hunting clubs in
California, Nevada, and one club in Arizona. Its region
also covers Hawaii.
CFMS is one of seven regional
federations belonging to the American Federation of
Mineralogical Societies (AFMS).
