About Gila County Gem and Mineral Society
Our History
Located in the very heart of “Copper Country” in the town of Miami, Arizona, the Gila County Gem & Mineral Society was founded in 1956 by a small group of individuals who shared a love for rocks and minerals. The Globe-Miami area of Arizona is rich in mining history and continues to be a major source of copper, gold, silver and other mineralogical treasures such as turquoise, azurite, chrysocolla and many other rocks and minerals.
