Our Mission 

is to promote, educate and stimulate interest in the earth sciences and lapidary arts.

Each month workshops are offered

to club members and visitors.

Workshops are free, but there may

be a small fee for kits that are

offered for some projects.

There are generally two or more

projects being worked on, plus

cabbing or faceting of gem stones

is usually offered.

Always something to do
