Welcome!

To the Delaware Mineralogical Society’s web page.

     We are a nonprofit organization dedicated to the promotion and education of mineralogy, paleontology and the lapidary arts.  We have monthly meetings at the historic Greenbank Grist Mill at Price's Corner, near Wilmington, Delaware.  We have speakers and programs that promote the goals of the society at each meeting. 

     DMS is proud to announce that our junior division is in the process of becoming affiliated with the Future Rockhounds of America through the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS).

     DMS is a member of E.F.T.A.  We conduct several field trips a month to fossil and mineral localities in the tri-state area and further afield.  Many of our DMS members belong to other clubs in the tri-state area creating close ties and providing opportunities for several cosponsored field trips a year.    Please visit our Field Trip page for more information on upcoming field trips and pictures and field reports from past trips. 

     Delaware Mineralogical Society sponsors an annual mineral and gem show on the first weekend in March.  Be sure to visit our Show page for directions, coupons, show times, dealer information and much more.

     Come join us on the second Monday of each month for our club meetings at the Greenbank Mill.

     Enjoy our web page.  We hope you find it informative and easy to use.
