Pics from the Gem Show

The Frankston and Peninsula Lapidary Club's Annual Gem Show was a great success!

I was honored to be a part of such a great group of people.

I was the photographer for the event, and had a fantastic time!

We had beautiful mineral specimens, stunning stones and handy tools and equipment on display from very knowledgeable suppliers.

I'm looking forward to next year's show!

Belonging...

I have some great news to share with you!

If you read my blog post on the Hidden Gem that I was incredibly lucky to have found, you will know that I was still waiting on official membership...

* drum roll please *

I'm officially a member!

It feels so good to have a sense of belonging in the lapidary and silversmithing community.

I get so excited just thinking about it!

Thank you to the committee and members at Frankston and Peninsula Lapidary Club,

I look forward to learning and sharing what I know with all the members,

and spending the days cabbing, faceting, soldering and fossicking!
