Lapidary Shop
The club has a Lapidary Shop, which includes rock and trim saws, several cabbing units and polishers.
Club members provide classes for novices and, those more skilled, work at their own pace on jewelry and other lapidary arts projects. The club encourages the public to stop in and use its shop a couple of times at no charge.

Gem Show
The club hosts a Gem and Jewelry Show and Sale in March each year at the Calaveras County Fairgrounds in Angels Camp.
The last show was held March 22 & 23, 2008. The show included a kid’s area, exhibit cases, demonstrations, snack bar, silent auction, door prizes and a raffle. We also had a special raffle where all the proceeds went to the fairgrounds. Vendors sold beads, tools and supplies for
making jewelry, plus minerals, meteorites, fossils, gems, rocks and beautiful jewelry.
