Show-Me Rockhounds is a non-profit organization affiliated with the Association of Earth Science Clubs of Greater Kansas City, Inc., and the Midwest Federation of Mineralogical Societies. Our purpose is to further the study and awareness of the earth sciences amongst our membership and the public. Monthly club meetings are held on the third Saturday of every month (except December) usually at 11:00 am in various places*. We’d love to see you at our next meeting! Anyone is welcome at a meeting, it is not necessary to join.
*Due to how large the club has grown lately, we have been meeting in different places so watch the newsletter or next meeting space on this web page to find where the meeting place will be and for any change to the meeting times.

I like how you hold meetings on a Saturday morning! By doing that, I would assume you are able to have more children attend? Also having the meetings held in the library does open the membership to the public. Well done!

We are sorry about that. Because the club has become so large, our meeting places are in flux. I will do my best to keep the site updated with the next meeting place.

I have a piece of petrified wood that I would like to get two sides polished. The sides are about 3.5 inches by 4.5 inches. Any suggestions on where I can get that done?

Hi. We found what appears to be a snake skin with soft tissue in sedimentary rock. Left it there. Can send a video but from looking quickly at the internet it appears to be rare.

Hello! My parents have a very very large (couple hundred pounds) stone from a gemologist who has now passed. We are looking for a lapidary with the tools to cut the stone into fourths. I’m having a hard time finding someone from where I live (Iowa) and the stone is in Shawnee, KS. Is anyone able/willing to provide this service or have a recommendation? I’m a rock lover myself, so it’s very important to me we do this right. Thank you!
