Welcome to the
Searchers
Gem and Mineral Society
Stan Bogosian was born in San Jose, California in 1952. He has been a serious field collector since 1990, and has travelled throughout the western United States in search of fine mineral specimens and lapidary material. His current interest is micro-minerals, although he has an extensive collection of rocks and minerals of all sizes, including polished rounds of Miocene petrified wood he collected in Eastern Washington. Stan graduated from Eastern Washington University, Cheney, Washington, in 1978 with a Bachelor’s in Education. After teaching high school for several years in Washington and California, Stan worked as a manager in the private sector until his retirement in 2013.
Established in 1958, The Searchers is an educational organization that focuses on the exploration of rockhounding, lapidary arts, and jewelry making. Our organization hosts monthly meetings, conducts field trips during the cooler months, and boasts a well-equipped lapidary workshop. Additionally, our annual rock show is considered one of the best in California. The Slab, a monthly newsletter, is also published by our organization.
The Searchers extend a warm invitation to individuals interested in joining our group. You can experience firsthand what the organization is all about by attending a meeting or field trip. Annual membership fees are $35 for an individual, and $10 for each additional person in your household. Membership sign-up is online, by clicking here.
