Johnny,
  If you are anywhere near DuPage County, get in touch with ESCONI (Earth Science Club of Northern Illinois). THeir lapidary study group is currently dormant, but you'll meet a lot of like-minded folks. www.esconi.org

  Greetings all, My name is Johnny and I live in Northern Illinois. Being a land surveyor I walk around a lot and always look down. I still have my first rock, a small piece of granite.

35 years ago I started doing lapidary work mostly cutting and polishing agates and jaspers into cabs. A little silver work followed. Then a devorce.

That was 20 years ago in 2 years I will retire and I need something to do. I still have all my equiptment and most of my rocks. The equiptment is 20 - 30 years old and the rocks are older. 

The reason for joining would be:
1) See whats new in equiptment,, I assume it all diamond for polishing now. 
2) Find new rocks.

Thats all for now,
Johnny
