Provide training courses in lapidary work in order to maintain the Scottish lapidary traditions. This is a requirement for full Club membership but training is also provided to interested people from other parts of the country who, for example, wish to set up local lapidary clubs. Provide facilities in our premises to allow members to work on their own lapidary projects (including silver work and gem faceting). Maintain and extend our extensive collection of mineral specimens for the education of our members and visiting members of the public. Organise lectures in the Club premises, including the annual Heddle lecture. Continue our outreach work to educate the public in the lapidary arts and Scottish mineralogy.
