The West Suburban Lapidary Club was founded in 1959. We are a member of:
The American Federation of Mineralogical Society (AFMS),
The Midwest Federation of Mineralogical & Geological Societies( MWF),
and The Chicagoland Gems & Mineral Association (CGMA)

The Mission of the club is to foster the development of the lapidary arts
and the jewelry craftsmanship, to improve craft skills, and to increase
public interest in handcrafted gems, jewelry, and their materials.
