Rocks & Minerals

Rocks & Minerals, with its treasure-trove of in-depth, relevant feature articles and spectacular color images, has been enticing hobbyists and academics alike since 1926. Through the years it has evolved into a highly respected, award-winning journal for all who are interested in specimen mineralogy, mineral localities, geology, and paleontology. Its international community of readers savors the diversity of articles and trusts in their peer-reviewed, authoritative content. Regular columns explore such topics as minerals for the collector; microminerals; recent books, videos, and DVDs; coming events; museum news; and personalities in the field. Detailed lists of collecting opportunities in specific areas are published periodically, as are special theme issues.

Rocks & Minerals works with the Mineralogical Society of America to bridge the gap between collectors and professional mineralogists, and it is affiliated with the Friends of Mineralogy, the Midwest Federation of Mineralogical and Geological Societies, and the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies.
