The Capital District Mineral Club (CDMC) was founded in 1956 to promote the collecting of rocks and minerals; to foster friendly cooperation among novice, amateur and advanced collectors and mineralogists; and to encourage the study of minerals, geology and the allied sciences.
As a member of the CDMC, you’ll enjoy: educational monthly meetings; mineral collecting field trips; access to the Herkimer Diamond claim; a newsletter; access to extensive mineralogical reference materials; participation in our annual Gem, Mineral and Fossil Show; membership in the AFMS, EFMLS and NYSAM; and much more.
