The Club hosts 4 or 5 courses per year ranging from lapidary 101 for members who have never cut a stone up to advanced classes for members with suitable experience. You will learn the safe operation and handling of lapidary equipment, cutting and polishing techniques and the safe operation of diamond saws. The Club provides all powered equipment and raw materials.

Several informal meetings are held throughout the year at various locations. The goal is to study and collect meteorites. The group's activities have included trips to museums and universities, lectures and visits to the homes of meteorite dealers.

Field Trips are open to Gem and Mineral of Scarborough Members 16 years of age and older. The club and affiliated groups organize several mineral or fossil collecting trips from April to June. Volunteers interested in joining the Field Trip Committee to help organize collecting trips are always welcome! Find out more.

Workshops on various other subjects, such as wire working and soapstone carving are held throughout the year. Come to a Club meeting or read more in StrataData for upcoming events.

Meetings feature lectures, examination of specimens brought in by the group and lively discussions on either a particular gem or a group of gems (eg. blue stones). The meetings are hosted by a trained gemologist and take place on the 3rd Thursday of the month.
