Essendon Gem & Lapidary Club Inc

Essendon Gem & Lapidary Club Inc Rocks in our heads? No just on our minds. Many people of all ages and from all walks of life discover in lapidary an ideal life-long hobby/craft/obsession.

A place for people who love rocks with an interest in lapidary, faceting and jewellery making, to meet together and share knowledge, develop their skills and keep the art of lapidary alive 💎 Lapidary is the art of cutting and polishing precious stones. The Essendon Gem and Lapidary Club was formed in 1969 to provide an opportunity for people with a wide variety of interests in precious and semi-pr

ecious gemstones and minerals to meet together to share their knowledge, develop their skills and enjoy the fellowship of those who share those interests.

💎Weekend Workbench💎

Busy bees at the club this weekend! Loads of serpentine and stichtite to dazzle the eyes and a slightly broken heart, but we all know what that’s like 💚

And those club members going fossicking next weekend at Mount Shadwell, be sure to get back to me with any lunch orders by Monday morning, last chance. Unsure of the weather next weekend, but It will go ahead, rain, hail or shine!

Oh, and our Gem Show is on the 1st & 2nd August, flyer is attached.
