Workshop – Lapidary 101 10/12/25 9am-12pm at CCRMC Lapidary Shop

Get to know the equipment at the club’s lapidary workshop. Use a trim saw to cut the outline for a cabochon. Shape the stone on the grinding wheels and use the Expando wheels to polish it. Use the arbor with a leather wheel to get a high polish. Go home with a cabochon you can use for a pendant.

Safety Notes: Please wear old clothes, you will get wet. Wear closed-toe shoes. Long hair should be tied back away from your face. Refrain from wearing long dangling jewelry and loose long sleeves. Bring eye and ear protection.

Don’t bring your own stone(s), save that until you know the equipment.

The workshop is limited to 4 members, so we recommend early registration.
