Lapidary World is a totally non profit organization. We provide as many free services as possible.
Making ends meet and to provide an ongoing service well into the future has costs which must be met in one way or another so we are always grateful for any donations people can make toward building this site and to provide an ongoing service well into the future. It's a great interest and I think you'll agree that this site does a lot to help keep interest within all the areas of this hobby.
Future Plans
One of our hopes for the future is to provide a Lapidary Training School where people from all around the world can attend to learn various aspects of the hobby. Like jewelry making, polishing gemstones, faceting and so on. We have already secured the property and now only require the building funds. The school would be open 7 days per week and some selected nights.
We estimate it will cost a further $80,000.00 (Australian dollars) to complete the project and this includes stocking the building with equipment. Some new equipment has already been obtained. If there is a benefactor out there that would like to donate the full sum or more We would be happy to name the main building after that person.
