Welcome . . .
to the
wonderful world of rocks and minerals
Have you ever stopped and picked up a rock or pebble just
because you
liked the look of it?
Popped it in your pocket and taken it home to rest on the
mantelpiece
for all to see?
If you have then you have already been bitten by an interesting
and inexpensive hobby - you are a rockhound!
Our club offers a great environment where members can
socialise and participate in the collection of minerals, crystals, gemstones and
fossils. You can also learn about the general geology of New Zealand and
the art of lapidary and jewellery making.
The main aim of the club is to foster and share the interest
in our hobby with like minded people. The majority of members are non
experts, so you don't have to be a professional in geology or jewellery to join
our group so come along and learn more about this fascinating hobby.
