Since 1971 R&G has been the leading magazine for the lapidary and mineral hobbyist. We capture the fun and excitment of rockhounding, gathering mineral specimens at their source. We guide our readers step-by-step though the creative processes of jewelry making, from the simplest beginner projects to the advanced skills of faceting. Our knowledgeable authors make mineral science understandable and inviting. Outstanding color illustrations add to the lure of some of nature's greatest beauties. Our Senior Editor, Carnegie Award winner Bob Jones, heads a group of regular contributors who write to the interests and tastes of the average reader. R&G is not part trade journal. It is totally dedicated to the hobby and those who love it. Each issue includes detailed field trips to collecting sites, in-depth profiles of individual minerals, easy-to-understand jewelry making projects and colorful reports on the people and places that make up the world of rocks and gems. There are listings for shows throughout the country, a Craftsman of the Month contest and tips for your home lapidary shop. Rock & Gem is the hobby and the hobby is marvelous. Join us. |
