About Townsville Gem & Mineral Club
Welcome to the Townsville Gem & Mineral Club, located at 96 Mooney Street in Gulliver, Australia. As Townsville's only club dedicated to all things related to Jewelry Making and associated skills, we are excited to offer a unique experience for hobbyists of all ages.
At our club, we provide a welcoming environment where both children and adults can learn and practice various skills such as Lapidary, Working with Metals (which we lovingly call 'Art Metal'), Faceting of Gemstones, and Sawing and Polishing all kinds of rocks. Our passionate instructors and senior club members are always ready to assist newer members in honing their skills, offering their years of experience and knowledge of the trade.
We regularly hold educational workshops, including the popular kids Saturday morning classes. These workshops cover a range of specialized skills such as enameling, jewelry making, wire wrapping, and even creating your own 'Gem Tree.' It's a great opportunity to learn new techniques and unleash your creativity.
For those who enjoy outdoor adventures, we organize 'Tag-Along' Field Trips open to all members. These trips involve camping and fossicking for fossils, petrified woods, precious and semi-precious stones, and rocks related to our hobby. It's a fantastic way to connect with nature and discover hidden treasures.
All our activities, except for the Field Trips, take place in our own well-equipped premises at 96 Mooney Street. Our building is air-conditioned, ensuring comfort during North Queensland's hot summers. Whether you are a beginner or an experienced enthusiast, we provide the necessary equipment and instruction on its safe use.
If you have a passion for fossils, rocks, or gemstones, and want to learn what you can do with them or create your own unique piece of jewelry, the Townsville Gem and Mineral Club is the perfect place for you.
We are a non-profit organization, incorporated to bring together individuals who share a common interest in all things related to gemstones, minerals, and jewelry making. Our club is dedicated to fostering a sense of self-discovery and group connection, allowing members to express their beliefs and values while building relationships with others.
We would like to express our gratitude to Creative Flare NQ for supporting our club and providing the video on our webpage. Creative Flare NQ is a local video production company that showcases positive communities in our region.
Join us for workshops and casting sessions, which can be arranged at other times depending on participant numbers and interests. Our clubhouse can also be opened at other times, as long as there is enough interest and instructor availability.
Field Trips are dependent on members' interest, field location availability, and weather conditions. Our club-sanctioned Field Trips are covered by limited liability insurance, although participants are expected to be self-sufficient. Most locations are suitable for all vehicles and camping setups.
We offer kids and creative workshops, lapidary instruction, faceting, art metal workshops, and the opportunity to saw and tumble your own rocks. These activities are designed to cater to the diverse interests and skill levels of our members.
Finally, don't miss our annual 'GemShow,' usually held in mid to late July. This two-day event attracts around 5000 Townsville residents and visitors from the region. It's an incredible opportunity to admire and purchase unique gemstones and jewelry creations.
Come and join us at the Townsville Gem & Mineral Club, where passion meets creativity, and the world of gemstones and minerals awaits you.

Reviews of Townsville Gem & Mineral Club
"Friendly club, lots of knowledge to share. Very inviting and sooo much fun. Thanks everyone!"
"Lots of activities going on"
"We went to the gem show and was pleasantly surprised but the amount of rock hunting and the specimens were beautiful. The lapidary side of things, such loves pieces of works and the knowledge when speaking with the club members was extensive. I was going to join the club with my 14yr old son who loves geology but we moved. But I would recommend going and seeing the members for inclusive club around our favourite subject. Rocks, gems and minerals!!."
"Had a lot of fun at the Gem & Mineral show. So many stalls and variety of things to see. Well done"
"Great place, friendly people and excellent instructors to teach you in multiple areas-- cabochon, faceting, silversmithing, and more."
