The Southeast Federation of Mineralogical Societies, Inc was organized in 1976 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 Southeast part of the United States. The Southeast Federation includes approximately 86 clubs and societies mostly in the region east of the Mississippi River and South of a line follows the northern boarders of Tennessee and North Carolina. There are a few clubs outside of this area due to historical affiliation. The Southeast Federation is a member of the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies.


News about the activities of the Southeast Federation is published monthly in a newsletter known as the Lodestar. Subscriptions to the Lodestar cost $7.00 per year and may be sent to the Editor:
