We have a Monday evening workshop where we teach cutting and polishing stones.Plans for classes in silversmithing, wire wrapping and bead stringing are now being made.
Other activities include field trips and our annual gem and mineral show every spring.
Our workshop is located on hwy 277 south about 4.7 miles west of 83-84 bypass(winters freeway)in Abilene Tx. It is a yellow metal building on south side of hwy.There is no sign. Just head toward San Angelo on 277 and you can't miss us.
