About Us
We are a community of people who come together because of our common interest in lapidary.
The Hastings Club has been active for over 65 years. Interests of members range from all aspects of the lapidary arts to rock, mineral, and fossil collecting. We have a well equipped workshop where we cut cabochons, facet stones, as well as polish and set jewelry. More than half of our members are accomplished silversmiths and jewelry designers. Some make gem trees, do enameling, carve rocks and wood, or collect minerals as well. We also organize regular field trips to various rock hunting areas. Our club formed in 1958 and within a short time club members were participating in local and BC shows.
