Engaging Classes
Learn lapidary with the rock club membership. We offer daily walk in lapidary classes. A class typically takes 2 hours as we teach how to select a stone and then cut and polish it into a cabochon. Class cost is $35.
A cabochon is flat backed stone with a convex top that is typically used in jewelry. After you pass your class you get 1 hour a week usage on the shop cab machines.
We offer 10 hour cab punch cards for $50.
