When it comes to purchasing gemstone jewelry, one of the most significant occasions is the selection of an engagement ring. This act symbolizes a promise of marriage and a lifelong commitment to a cherished relationship. At the Toowoomba Lapidary Club, we understand the importance of this decision and strive to provide you with the finest quality gemstones and jewelry.

In addition to our wide range of jewelry offerings, we also offer educational resources to enhance your understanding and appreciation of gemstones. We are delighted to present video tutorials on gemstone cutting, featuring the expertise of renowned lapidary artist, John Dyer. These tutorials will guide you through the intricate process of transforming raw gemstones into stunning works of art.

Furthermore, we would like to shed light on a fascinating trend in the gem and mineral industry. Agates, particularly the polished banded variety, have been gaining popularity at recent shows. These agates showcase breathtaking colors and patterns that are truly captivating. However, it is important to note that not all of these agates are completely natural.

Upon closer inspection, it has come to our attention that some agates found in Madagascar, where many of these stones originate, are initially whitish or greyish in color. To enhance their appeal, these stones are treated with a mineral solution containing iron-nitrate, resulting in the vibrant red coloration. While the banding and patterns are indeed natural, it is crucial to acknowledge that the coloration is achieved through an unnatural process.

We believe in transparency and strive to provide accurate information to our customers. It is our duty to inform you that these agates, although composed of natural mined material, undergo a treatment process that alters their appearance. Nevertheless, they still possess a natural polish, which adds to their overall allure.

Whether you are a wholesaler, retailer, or an individual attending a gem show, we want you to make an informed decision when purchasing gemstone jewelry. At the Toowoomba Lapidary Club, we are dedicated to providing you with the highest quality gemstones and jewelry, ensuring that your investment is both beautiful and ethically sourced.

Visit us at our East Toowoomba location on William Street, where our knowledgeable staff will be delighted to assist you in finding the perfect gemstone or piece of jewelry. We look forward to welcoming you to the Toowoomba Lapidary Club, where passion for gemstones and commitment to excellence meet.
