EFMLS

Our History

The Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies, Inc. was organized in 1950 as a nonprofit to bring about a closer association of mineral societies devoted to the study of geology, minerals, earth sciences and the practice of the lapidary arts and related crafts in the eastern portion of the United States.

Beginning with three “founding” mineral societies and seven “charter” societies, the EFMLS has now grown to approximately 115 affiliated societies, with a combined membership of approximately 9,200 individuals.

The EFMLS is a non profit 501(c)3 organization. All donations are tax deductible. Our mission is to encourage interest and study in geology, mineralogy, lapidary and allied earth sciences. All revenue goes to support endowments, scholarships, and awards. Your support goes directly to increase awareness and growing the knowledge and appreciation for the hobby and science we all love.
