About the Flagg Mineral Foundation
The Foundation was formed in 1962 with the goal of establishing a mineral museum in the Phoenix area. Through the dedication and hard work of its members, a world class collection of minerals was on permanent display in downtown Phoenix. Unfortunately, due to Arizona House Bill HB2251, the museum was closed in 2011. The Foundation currently supports a number of museums throughout Arizona.
Currently, our membership includes ~400 people in a number of states.
We’re involved in organizing annual mineral events including:
A. L. Flagg Gem and Mineral Show in January
Minerals of Arizona Symposium in March/April
In addition, we arrange local field trips and maintain a fine mineral collection with >800 specimens.
