About Us

When this group started in January, we were funding our club with your generous donations. Effective July 1, 2026, a basic membership costs $20/individual or $40/famly. Please visit the "Membership" page for more details about fees and bundled "swag" packages.

We offer jewelry and lapidary classes Thursday - Saturday. Find out more and reserve a spot in one of our many lapidary courses on the "Classes" page.

1. Be respectful toward each other.
2. "Golden rule;" treat others how we want to be treated.
3. All identities are welcome here.
4. Don't be afraid to ask questions. (There are no stupid questions.)
5. Above all - have fun.
6. No politics or off-topic conversations.
7. No selling/ self-promotion.
8. We are here to celebrate rocks. Period. 

We strive to offer at least one field trip monthly. Past trips have included Baker Blue hunting in Concrete, WA, beach combing on Whidbey Island, hard rock mining at Walker Valley, Cherry Point, among others.

All members are encouraged to participate and/or lead a field trip if they know of a rockhound spot open to the public! Speak up at a meeting if you are willing to lead others.

Waivers must be signed by all participants, and field trips are open to dues paid members only.

Next field trip: Mt. Baker, Saturday, November 21st, 2026

Next event: Holiday party

Equipment has been moved to the new studio at 1302 12th St. Bellingham, WA. Our meetings are currently  held upstairs at this location.

Our next step is to focus on membership growth and consistency with meeting attendance. Everyone who has participated so far has contributed to the success of this new adventure; thank you to all of the Rock Lickers for making this club what it is:

This is an informal group of like-minded individuals who love and want to learn more about rocks.

Get in on the ground floor of a new endeavor, and let's continue building something great together!
