What is Tuscarora Lapidary Society? Tuscarora Lapidary Society, Inc. (TLS) is chartered as a non-profit organization devoted to the promotion of the lapidary hobby (the cutting and polishing of gem stones), and of the arts and sciences associated with lapidary interests. We are a member of the Eastern Federation of Mineralogical and Lapidary Societies (EFMLS), and are affiliated with the American Federation of Mineralogical Societies (AFMS). Our society has members from all walks of life, brought together by our common interest in creating beautiful, decorative, and sometimes useful items from rocks and minerals. Through discussions of experiences and techniques, our members share their knowledge and advance their skills. We have an active Skill Improvement Program (SKIP) in which members' work in several categories is judged against prescribed standards, and certificates of accomplishment are awarded. Our individual members frequently exhibit their work in the shows of other clubs and in Federation (AFMS) shows. They have received many high awards, attesting to the quality of their work. Some have also participated in national and international faceting competitions, winning high awards. The society itself often exhibits, using fine pieces by many different members. These exhibits have frequently taken "Best in Show".

Lapidary
A lapidary (the word means "concerned with stones") is an artisan who practices the craft of working, forming and finishing stone and stone-like materials ( amber shell jet pearl ... horn and bone glass and other synthetics) into functional and/or decorative, even wearable, items. The adjectival term is also extended to refer to such arts. Diamond-cutting and the creation of cameos are lapidary arts. The arts of a sculptor or stone-mason are generally too broad in scale to fall within the definition, though chiselling inscriptions in stone, and preparing laboratory 'thin sections' may be considered lapidary arts. The term is most commonly associated with jewelry and decorative household items. (bookends, clock faces, ornaments, etc.) A specialized form of lapidary work is the inlaying of marble and semi-precious stones into a marble matrix, known in English as "pietra dura" for the hardstones like onyx, jasper and carnelian that are used, but called in Florence and Naples, where the technique was developed in the 16th century, opere di commessi The Medici Chapel at San Lorenzo in Florence is completely veneered with inlaid hardstones. A lapidary specialty developed from the late 18th century in Naples and Rome are the "micro-mosaics" assembled out of many minute slivers of stone to create still life, cityscape views and the like. In China lapidary work specializing in

Lapidary Category Rules: The category is for entries made from gemstones or crystals. Primary sources for lapidary work consist mainly of museum pieces and a few treatises, such as Albert Magnus and Theophilus. For this reason, leniency is suggested if it is evident that a sincere attempt to document the entry has been made. The following are touches which are typical to period stones and should be graded slightly higher in Authenticity:
  • Polished nicks in stones, these were the result if cutting out a flaw while removing as little material and weight as possible. Stones which have been polished or faceted following the orignal shape so as to lose as little weight as possible. Drilled stones. Crystals, especially low grade emeralds, drilled lengthwise and polished but not substantially shaped. Cabochons which started out as drilled stones, then were cut in half, leaving a line across the back of the stone where the hole was.
Documentation (0 to 4 points): No documentation provided with entry. Minimal information consisting of time, place and style.
