The Arlington Gem & Mineral Club
Rockhounds, lapidary artists, and silversmiths since 1957.
Learn lapidary arts, use our shared workshop, and join a community that's been cutting stones and making jewelry in North Texas for more than sixty years.
Collecting, cutting, setting, fusing. Members teach every step, and these three studios are where it all comes together.
Cutting, grinding, and polishing stone: cabbing, faceting, and the shared lab you can drop into once you're checked out on the equipment.
Fabrication, soldering, stone setting, and casting, from your first bezel to lost-wax and sand casting.
Fusing, enamelling, mosaics, and stained glass, turning sheet and scrap into wearable and displayable work.
