CFMS 

The Searchers is an official regional member of the CFMS (California Federation of Mineralogical Societies).  

CFMS was organized in 1936 to bring about a closer association of Clubs and Societies devoted to the study of Earth Sciences and the practice of Lapidary Arts and Crafts in the Western part of the United States.

  The CFMS includes approximately 137 clubs and societies mostly in California. There are a few clubs outside this area in Arizona and Nevada due to historical affiliation. The CFMS is a member of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS).). CFMS sponsors field trips, scholarships, and encourages responsible rockhounding with safety tips and 
official field trip forms that can be found on the CFMS website.
