Rock Shop
The Club's rock shop allows members to cut and polish rocks for cabochons. Members can also learn to do silver work. It is always a fun time to play and learn at the shop!
As of December 2018, the rock shop is closed. It will reopen in February 2019.
Shop is often open on Wednesdays from 5:30 -7:30 p.m. and Sundays 9:30 a.m. - 2 p.m.
Hours only on scheduled days (see above). Please wear closed toed shoes. Remember to wear safety glasses and ear protection! All days and evenings are subject to weather conditions. Thunder and lightning will cancel and close the shop at all times. For directions, please contact a board member since it is at a private residence.
