Yesterdays fieldtrip was wonderful. Good people, good finds. A crisp windy day, peacefully quiet with laughter occasionally echoing through it 💎💚🌎 wouldn't miss it for anything!

Shout out to Topher being our field scout for this fieldtrip! He did an excellent job making sure everyone found their way.

💎✨ Lapidary in action this morning ✨💎

From 8AM–12PM, our members got hands-on in the shop—cutting, shaping, and polishing stone into cabochons. There’s nothing like watching a rough piece transform and reveal what’s been inside all along.

This is what SJVLS is about—learning, creating, and sharing the craft together.
