The Clallam County Gem & Mineral Association hosts its spring open house from 10 a.m.-3 p.m. Saturday, April 23, at the club’s shop, 81 Hooker Road, Unit 5, in Carlsborg.

Bring rocks to identify, learn how to cut rocks and polish stones for use in jewelry or for display, as club members will be on hand to show the shop and its facilities as well as answer questions.

Ongoing demonstrations include rock cutting and polishing, and wire wrapping polished stones. See the facilities for metal smithing, casting and other lapidary activities.

The club is a nonprofit association organized for educational activity in the science of geology as it relates to the discovery of rock, mineral and fossils, the art of lapidary to enhance rocks’ natural beauty and to the promotion of rocks and “rock hounding” through information and special programs.
