GEM CLUBS, SUBMIT SHOW DATES FOR NEXT YEAR
Gem Clubs please submit your new show dates for 2010 through our Contact Us page when you've confirmed your dates. I have updated last years shows based on 2009 dates so if you find yours is incorrect then please let me know so that I can correct them.

RARE BOOKS
Looking for rare books about lapidary, gemstones, mining surveys, etc then visit the Australian Lapidary Club Directory's new website All About Gemstones. Visit often as we add newly discovered rare books to this library and view the books online without the need for a time consuming download.

FREE CLASSIFIEDS
After several requests I've added a free classifieds page for you to list your used lapidary equipment, surplus gemstones and mineral specimens, etc. You will need to register on the website to be able to use this facility. Commercial suppliers are not to use this facility; if you wish to advertise on this site please use the Contact Page to discuss options.

SELENITE IN THE WILD
Have you purchased selenite from us at a gem show recently? Then perhaps you're interested in how it occurs in nature. Go to this page and follow the links to the official website of the World's largest crystals and be amazed. Links have been fixed so they are working again for those who may have had problems.
