The Society is organised into seven branches, distributed throughout the UK, and Members are assigned to the Branch covering their area. Members are welcome to participate in the activities of any other Branch.
The principal aims of the Society are the study, understanding, recording and conservation of minerals and mineralogical sites. The Society works closely with museums and other like-minded organisations in the pursuit of these aims. It encourages responsible collecting and exploration.
