After collecting so many nice rocks, some of us develop a keen interest in geology.
Some members have taken Geology courses at El Camino College, in nearby Torrance. You may have to start with GEO101, afterwards you can take courses with exciting field trips to CA Central Coast, Anza Borrego etc.
Occasionally, we have workshops at the club Lapidary Shop.
On Tuesday Evenings,  Anthony F. when present, can teach you how to make a cabochon in about ½ hour using the Grundke method.
Lapidary Shop instructors, and senior members will gladly suggest or demonstrate various techniques.
