MinSA

The Mineralogical Association of South Africa (MinSA) was founded in 1979 to foster collaboration and knowledge exchange within South Africa's mineralogical community. MinSA is a specialist division of the Geological Society of South Africa (GSSA) and an affiliate of the International Mineralogical Association (IMA). We organise a range of events and initiatives, from informal topical talks to major international conferences to promote cutting edge science, practical engagement, and a vibrant community spirit.
