About Us
The Hastings Centre Rockhounds have 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 jewellery. More than half of our members are accomplished silversmiths and jewellery designers. Some make gem trees, do enamelling, carve rocks and wood, or collect minerals as well. We also organize regular field trips to various rock-hunting areas.
The Hastings Centre Rockhounds Club is part of the British Columbia Lapidary Society and the Gem and Mineral Federation of Canada. The BC Lapidary Society contains clubs from across British Columbia and is a central hub for finding out about club shows, field trips, and our annual summer rendezvous.
