About our Club:

The Hastings club has been active for over 30 years. Interests of members range from all aspects of the lapidary arts to rock, mineral and fossil collecting. We have a well equipped workshop where we cut cabochons, facet stones, and polish and set jewellery. More than half of our members are accomplished silversmiths and jewellery designers. Some make gem trees, do enamelling, carve rock and wood, or collect minerals as well. We also organize monthly field trips to various rockhunting areas.

Our club is a member of the Lapidary Rock & Mineral Society of B.C. and the Gem & Mineral Federation of Canada.
