Maine Mineralogical and Geological Society
The Maine Mineralogical & Geological Society is a northern New England non-profit organization dedicated to all educational and cultural aspects of geology, mineralogy, lapidary arts and related subjects, and to the camaraderie generated by the membership’s mutual interests. The membership runs from curious novice to trained and experienced mineralogists and geologists. The society is sponsored in part by the Geosciences Department of the University of Southern Maine.
MMGS club membership offers access to two New England mines that are no longer open to the public:
- Dunn Quarry, Norway, Oxford Co. Maine, USA
- Hamm and Weeks Quarry, Wakefield, Carroll Co., New Hampshire, USA
Meetings are open to the public and are held the last Saturday of each month (unless otherwise noted) in Payson Smith Hall, room #1, on the USM Portland campus. Meetings start at 7PM on Saturdays and usually feature a program on some aspect of rock and mineral collecting of interest to the members.
Organized field trips are held at least once a month from May through November.
