Happy Valley Maker Faire 2025
LAPIDARY is the craft of shaping and polishing gems and other decorative stones. Three principal methods are
cabochon cutting of rounded-top gems, tumble-polishing of free-form or pre-formed shapes in batches, and faceting
of transparent gems to maximize sparkle and fire. Carved figures and polished slab assemblies such as boxes may also be made.
Nittany Mineralogical Society will demonstrate lapidary
and other aspects of its areas of interest at the
Happy Valley Maker Faire, September 20-21.
See us listed among the many and varied makers.
Please join us that Saturday or Sunday at Axemann Brewery, from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
