Community Events

The Cairns Mineral & Lapidary Club's annual two-day Gem Festival is one of the Club's biggest events, attracting visitors from across the region to explore a wide range of gemstones, minerals, fossils, jewellery, and lapidary displays.

 

The Club also presents a display at the three-day Cairns Show each year.

Throughout the year, the Club welcomes school excursions to the clubrooms and provides demonstrations in cabochon cutting, faceting, and jewellery making, helping to share the enjoyment of the lapidary arts with the wider community. For more information please contact us.
