The Cape Town Gem and Mineral Club 

(officially registered as the Mineralogical Society of Southern Africa) 

is a hobby club founded in 1962 by a small group of enthusiastic mineral collectors.

An Open Day is held on the first Saturday of every month (except January) from 10:00 to 14:00 at its clubhouse in Bothasig. 

Members and the general public are very welcome to attend. Entrance is free. Mineral specimens, crystals, worked natural stone objects such as spheres, as well as gems, beads, and jewellery can be seen, and information gained about this hobby.

 Minerals are discussed, swopped or purchased according to whim.
