Parksville and District Rock and Gem Club (PDRGC)
- Monthly Social Meetings & Activities
- Celebrate rockhounding with a Show at the end of the year-Show Nov 2025
- Collect Beach & River Stones, Mineral & Crystal samples with our Field Trips
- Jewellery and other Lapidary creations done in our Lapidary Shop
- Information about Geology as well as local History
These are just some of the things members of the Parksville & District Rock and Gem Club enjoy pursuing together. In our monthly meetings we frequently have host guest speakers who are specialists within these fields and others related, such as local history & geology, as well as having presentations from members of other rockhounding clubs on Vancouver Island.
We are active within our community, speaking to children in after school projects, hosting interactive tables at various community events, as well as the yearly Rock Show we host in the fall.
With over 40 years of history behind us, our club is a diverse and well rounded group, from incredibly experienced wagonmasters leading our gathering outings to the technical experience of our Lapidary shop foremen and instructors.
Several of our members have their own Lapidary and Mineral related businesses, and can share experience with those interested in that aspect of the hobby.
Visitors are, of course, welcome at our meetings. Please explore the site further and do not hesitate to contact us.
