the unique facets of the Southeast Federation of Mineralogical
Societies is the Workshop Program, which offers members the

by experienced instructors. Whether you are a newcomer to the
lapidary arts and want to learn the basics, or you're experienced
and want to learn something new or hone your skills, the Workshop
Program has something for you.
