PENOBSCOT MINERAL AND LAPIDARY CLUB
About Us
Club field trip to Little Deer Isle, August 19, 2006
The Penobscot Mineral and Lapidary Club was organized in March 2004 to
foster the interest in rocks, minerals, fossils and lapidary in the Bangor area.
During the summer the club sponsors collecting field trips to various sites
statewide. During the winter we hold workshops on Lapidary and jewelry
making techniques.
ROCK SHOW
On the first weekend in November we host a Rock Show at the Brewer
Auditorium. This is an annual event. We have 20 or more vendors at the
show featuring rock related products such as decorative carvings, jewelry,
mineral specimens, gemstones, etc. This year we added a lapidary
demonstration. The show is very well attended by the public at large.
