The Houston Gem & Mineral Society
Lapidary Section

The Lapidary Section of the Houston Gem and Mineral Society is interested in the working of stone and metal into finished works of art, craft, and jewelry. This Section includes beginners, experts, and every level in between. The shop in the clubhouse has all the tools you might need to get started, and expert advice is never in short supply. Don't have a rock to get started with? No problem, we have starter rocks too.

The Lapidary Section meets the third Monday of each month (except December), and in 2006 we are featuring programs in which we DO or MAKE something. Click on the button for information about upcoming programs for the various Sections and for the General Meeting.
