Rochester 2020! Whoo hoo! The arrival of spring and our annual fun times in Rochester! True, we had no choice and had to cancel the Rochester Mineralogical Symposium in Rochester April 23-26, 2020. But It turns out that the spirit of Rochester is not so easily defeated…

There really is no event in the Mineral World year exactly like the Rochester Mineralogical Symposium.

The 2016 RMS featured great talks and photos from excellent speakers on a range of subjects.
