About

It’s lapidary time in the studio — or time for the practice of shaping stone, minerals, or gemstones into decorative items such as cabochons, engraved gems, and faceted designs by cutting, grinding, and polishing. 
A trained safety monitor is always on duty.

  • Bring a variety of rocks in different stages so you can share the equipment with others.
