The British Micromount Society is a national organisation, founded in 1981.
The aims of the Society are to promote contact between micromounters in the UK and encourage the development of micromounting as a branch of mineralogy through the publication of a regular newsletter (detail and back issues available here), occasional field meetings and symposia.
The Society publishes the British Directory of Micromounters – now in its 10th Edition, and maintains a National Reference Collection of Micromounts, available for postal loan to members.
The Society has also developed a range of Occasional Papers on topics of interest to amateur mineralogists.
There are local groups in Norfolk, Sussex, West Midlands, Cornwall, The North West Group in Bolton, and the South East Group in London.
These meet at regular intervals and all members are welcome to attend any of the branches.
