About LGMS
The Lowcountry Gem and Mineral Society (LGMS) of Charleston, South Carolina is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization. The society was chartered on April 18, 1969 by Skiles F. Montague. Our purpose is "to foster the interest in and to facilitate the study of gems, minerals, fossils, and other related fields of geology and earth sciences" throughout the Lowcountry. LGMS is a fantastic place to connect with others who share an interest in rockhounding, fossils, lapidary arts, metalsmithing and geology.
The society is a founding member of the Southeast Federation of Mineralogical Societies, Inc. and an affiliate of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies, Inc.
Youth Program: We welcome all ages, however, we do not have an established Youth Program. Instead, we incorporate our younger members into our meetings.
