BC Rockhounder

The BC Rockhounder has celebrated 60 years in publication! It was for a time known as The Canadian Rockhounder Magazine.

It serves as a go-to source for rockhounding and lapidary information, resources and newsletter for clubs around the province under the umbrella of the British Columbia Lapidary Society. It also contains great articles on BC history, earth sciences and features regular columns.
