You can get this magazine on the magazines website for 18.95 for one year or 24.00 for two years. I was amazed to see that amazon.com was more expensive!

I have loved this magazine. It has new finds of gemstones and minerals fasinating articles and great finds of where to purchase minerals and gems. If you love gemstones and minerals this magazine is for you. The best magazine find yet. Also, if you like minerals you should try the magazine ROCKS AND MINERALS [...] and published by Heldref publications.
Happy gem hunting....

I have bought all issues of Rock & Gem since I discovered it a year and a half ago. It features lots of pictures, good articles, activities for the kids and ads are kept to a minimum.

This magazine is such a delight! I love the moment I open my mailbox and find the latest issue! I don't set it down until I am done reading every inch of this valuable resource!

I am like a kid at Christmas when my "Rock & Gem" mag comes in the mail. I read it cover to cover, and find the content absolutely fascinating!! The magazine covers every aspect of rock hounding, working with crytals/gems/minerals. There are always several minerals I have never heard of before, and this magazine does a wonderful job of educating its readers. And I LOVE the fact that there is a kids' section! I fell in love with rocks when my Dad came home from a trip to the Badlands of S.D. with several minerals, and a big amethyst crystal. If we take the time to provide opportunities like that to our children, it can open up an entirely new world....a fascinating one to them.

Thank you so much!

It is hard to believe but I bought my first "Rock and Gem" magazines when I was a kid in New Jersey. Garden State News on Central Ave, Jersey City, NJ. Recently I received a magazine in the mail from my subscription and it said 40 years old! Wow! Is that how long it has been? I was like 9 years old when I bought my first Rock and Gem magazines! I am 50 now...man where did the time go?! Anyway this magazine is still superb and even better now because the quality of the photography has improved over the years. Yes it is true the advertisements tend to be the same a lot but that is how they can afford to keep going. I hope they keep going as it is nice to be able to get a magazine that has good and interesting news and articles and makes you feel good! It keeps you interested in your hobby that you have loved for so many years. Or maybe get someone else interested in it for the first time! Great magazine!
