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.
During the 2008 Show, the Lapidary Section will be holding a stone carving competition. This will be a national show as we will be hosting both the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies and the South Central Federation of Mineral Societies annual shows during our show, and we expect to have nation-wide competition. Begin planning now to enter. Click here for more information. 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.
