News

At the time of this posting, we don’t know if this meeting is going to be online or in-person. So check back at the beginning of February to see where this meeting is being held. Either way, the topic will be the same.

Meeting Topic: We are going to have a speaker talk on how to be environmentally conscious in regards to lapidary. Where is it ok to pour out the water from tumblers and flat laps? How to safely clean rocks and dispose of chemicals used to clean them. Also, waste products from other lapidary arts.

Show ‘n Tell: Be proud, show and tell what you have cut, polished, or made from rocks, minerals, or fossils?
