Who can join?
The Canadian Mineral Society is intended for collectors with a genuine interest in minerals and mineral collecting. Although Canadian minerals are the primary focus of our society, we recognize the diversity of the mineral collecting hobby and therefore welcome collectors with an interest in worldwide minerals, micro-minerals, fluorescent minerals, and pseudomorphs.
The society is ideal for professional and avocational collectors. Inexperienced collectors are still welcome to join, provided they clearly intend to pursue the mineral collecting hobby and seek to develop their collecting skills and knowledge of minerals.
Individuals with a casual or limited interest in minerals will not benefit from joining the society, and should consider joining a local rock and mineral club instead.
