Formed in 1966 The Lapidary Club of Northern Tasmania is a not-for-profit organisation that provides an environment where people with an interest in fossicking for gemstones, rocks, fossils and jewellery making can get together and share their interests and skills with each other.

Federal Member for Bass Bridget Archer recently visited the Club to meet with its members and to celebrate their recent success in securing a grant under the Stronger Communities Program.

“It was heart-warming to see the strength, inclusion and connectedness of members as they talked about their shared vision for the club,” Mrs Archer said.

If you have an interest in all things gemstones, rocks and fossils, consider joining the Club! Contact them through their Facebook page Lapidary Club of Northern Tasmania Inc.
