The State of Oregon has been considering and evaluating marine reserves and protected areas along its coast for the past few years. Depending on the area's type of shoreline, access to rock collecting can be limited. For more information regarding the marine preserves and protected areas currently being evaluated, see the Marine Reserve & Marine Protected Areas webpage.
The current display in the Capitol Case is being exhibited by the Roxy Ann Gem & Mineral Society, from Central Point, Oregon. This display is scheduled to continue through May of 2009.
Members of the Roxy Ann Gem & Mineral Society:
Barbara and Bob Jacobsen
See the The Capitol Showcase page for more pictures of the current exhibit, pictures from previous displays and a history of the Capitol Showcase.
Each year, the OCRMC conducts a competition to encourage Oregon rock & mineral club members to create appealing displays that showcase their skills in the lapidary arts. The winner of this competition is awarded the Oregon Council Trophy, engraved with their name. The trophy is retained by the winner for one year, or until the next Oregon Council Competition.
Congratulations to Lamar Tilgner of the Mt. Hood Club, the 2008 winner of the Oregon Council Trophy.

In June of 2007, we approved an amended set of OCRMC Bylaws and Operating Procedures. We encourage all affiliated club members to review these at Bylaws and Operating Procedures.
