Resources
It is our intention that the CCFMS be the go-to resource for rockhounding and lapidary for our CCFMS-affiliated clubs.
Check out our other resource pages: Resources References, Resources Museums, Resources Collecting Sites, Resources Educational and Resources Incorporation. These pages bring together practical information and trusted links to support clubs and their members in their day-to-day related activities and long-term planning.
If you notice a broken link, please let us know in the comments section at the bottom of the homepage. Feel free to also explore the French Resource pages.
