Learn how to tumble rocks, and watch our batches as they progress through the tumbling cycle all the way to gems.
Join us every 1st and 3rd Wednesday as we guide rough stones through the fascinating scientific process of rock tumbling. Observe the transformation into polished "gems" while exploring our curated collection of non-fiction books on mineralogy and geology—available for you to browse and check out on the spot!
Beyond the science, we will discuss how to turn your polished treasures into handcrafted jewelry or unique artistic embellishments. Discover how to connect your passion to creative and economic opportunities as we highlight other library maker programs and tools that can help bring your lapidary projects to life.
Whether you are a curious learner or a budding crafter, come discover the treasures waiting inside every stone!
