Members' Only
Hey! Not too cooped up, are you? Happen to have a lot of time on your hands? Well, we are looking for entries for our POSTER CONTEST! Details are in the Members' Only section of the website! Click here.
The Antelope Valley is located in the Mojave Desert of Southern California. It's the high desert and our area is known for our amazing bright orange poppies that sprout up in the spring time, and the Joshua trees - as reflected in our club patch. We invite you to attend any social meeting held on the 4th Tuesday of each month at 7:00 p.m. at Our Shepherd Lutheran Church, 42521 20th Street West, Lancaster.
Many interesting and varied programs are offered: Educational films and speakers, auctions of lapidary material, lapidary and jewelry classes, etc. The club holds a summer picnic and an end of the year party. We also provide scholarships to local college students.
A field trip to study geology and to gather mineral and lapidary material is offered each month during cooler months. Club lapidary equipment (saws, grinders, and polishers) is available for members to use to work up material found on these trips.
The Antelope Valley Gem and Mineral Club sponsors a free gem and mineral show in the Spring (usually April or May). We are also active in the Antelope Valley Fair held at the end of August.
WE ARE AN ACTIVE CLUB, IF YOU ARE INTERESTED PLEASE COME VISIT US AT ONE OF OUR MEETINGS. See map below on where we are located for meetings.
The club is affiliated with the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies and California Federation Mineralogical Societies.

A Message from our AV Gem and Mineral President:
Hi Everyone,
As much as we all hate the idea, the AV G&M Club Board has decided to:
Cancel the 2020 AV G&M Show.
I'm sure you are all aware that the City of Lancaster has canceled the Poppy Festival as well as the L.A. County Air Show.
We were holding out, hopeful that we would not have to cancel. But, the safety of our members, vendors and the general public is our number one priority.
Thank you to everyone that has helped with the year long planning for this year's show. Your efforts are appreciated more than you know.
With that said, we are moving forward with the planning of our 2021 Show. We are going to be hosting the CFMS Show in conjunction with our annual show next year. Mark your calendars now for April 16-18, 2021!
The March & April General Meetings have also been canceled.
The Kokoweef field trip is also canceled, and hopefully can be rescheduled.
We will try to keep you informed and up to date on future club activities. Watch for the Chip'N'Tumble e-mail for further information.
Please be safe out there, hope to see you all real soon!
