Lapidary Shop
The
club has a Lapidary Shop, which includes rock and trim saws, several
cabbing units and polishers.
Club members can provide instruction 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 before requiring membership.
Although we will not hold regular meetings in July and August, our shop
will have its regular hours. SEE REGULAR SHOP SCHEDULE
