Welcome Rockhounds!

The Mingus Gem & Mineral Club was founded in 1974 as a non-profit organization dedicated to the learning and sharing of knowledge regarding the lapidary arts and earth sciences.

The Mingus Gem & Mineral Club provides a forum for its members to practice gem, mineral, and rock specimen collecting, and lapidary of all kinds in a fun, congenial atmosphere. Our goal is to share the joy of our hobby with the public and promote and preserve it for future generations.

We are always accepting new members!

We meet the first Thursday of the month (except July & August) at the Elks Lodge #1361, located at 100 S. Broadway Street in Clarkdale, AZ  86324
