Welcome to the GMSVP - Gem & Mineral Society of the Virginia Peninsula - www.gmsvp.org

Newport News, VA
The Society is a nonprofit organization governed by a Board of Directors. The Society is the oldest mineralogical and lapidary organization in Virginia. Celebrating over 60 years of fun, the first meeting was held on September 23, 1954.
Our meetings are held at Sandy Bottom Nature Park, in the Nature Center Conference Room, in Hampton, VA. We meet the first Thursday of each month at 7pm, but sometimes this changes. Please check the Events page for actual dates and times. Visitors are welcome to our meetings.
