To get an idea of the types of programs that we typically have each month, take a look at some of the previous presentations.
A cabochon (from middle French caboche which means head) is a gemstone that has been shaped and polished into a convex (rounded) top and a flat back. This was the method originally used to prepare gemstones before faceting was developed. The best rock materials to use for cabochons, or cabs are those with a Mohs hardness of 7 or more. Agate and jasper are the typical rocks used to make cabs because of their variation in color and they are made of quartz with the hardness of 7. This talk will present the other characteristics desired for a cab and the various rocks that make good cabs.
Several lots are auctioned off at each regular Member Meeting, which is typically held on the second Tuesday of every month. Our auctions are another way to add to one’s collection, usually at a great price, without having to travel too far, and helps with paying for the club’s operating expenses.
