Club members
display their work in minerals, silver and gemstones.
The
lapidary or lapidarist cuts, shapes and polishes rocks and minerals to
bring out their beauty, and perhaps sets them in jewellery. We have been members
of The Scottish Mineral & Lapidary
Club for many years.
We hunt for local agates and also use rough material from all over the world. Semi-precious gemstones, such as
amethyst and aquamarine, can be faceted into beautiful sparklers if,
like Murdo, one has the
skill and patience. These Scottish agates were found and polished by
members of our Club.
