You just found the official page for the Mackay Gem and Craft Society Inc, a club devoted to the lapidary arts.

We are a Lapidary Club interested in collecting rocks and fossiles and learning how to create beautiful and original jewellery. Our members are interested in making cabachons, faceting, silversmithing and casting, wirewrapping, chain-maille, viking knit, polymer clay and any craft that can turn a rock into a piece of art.
