A New Home for a Long-standing Rock Community
Rooted in a local lapidary tradition that began with the Port Coquitlam Lapidary Club in 1967 and continued through nearly five decades as the Port Moody Rock and Gem Club, the Tri-Cities Lapidary Society brings together people who enjoy rocks, gemstones, minerals, geology and the lapidary arts. Today, that tradition is entering a new chapter with a new workshop home in Port Coquitlam and a growing community serving Port Coquitlam, Port Moody, Coquitlam and the wider Greater Vancouver area.
