A talk about polishing greenstones, Show and Tell Lapidary talk, and an Auction
We will first start out with a brief talk by Gary Katt on how he polished his beautiful Greenstones, and what equipment that he uses. After that, Ken Hoekstra will talk about 3 different pieces of Lapidary equipment that was donated to our club several months ago. We have a Covington 10” trim saw, a Craftsman flat lap and a Star Diamond grinding unit with 2 brand new wheels. The equipment sat unused for a while, so Ken brought them home, cleaned them up, repaired what he could, and will talk about the pro’s and con’s of each. Then we will have an auction, and auction them off! (Please bring along cash and/or checkbook, our club doesn’t accept credit cards.) To add more excitement to the evening, we will also auction off a beautiful copper /prehnite slab donated by Gary Katt, a Luna Agate from the Larry graves collection (polished by Ken Hoekstra) and 7 Lake Superior Agates also from the Larry Graves Collection. Bring your questions, your checkbooks and enjoy a great meeting with your fellow rockhounds. |
