We teach the journey from rocks to gems to jewelry.
The Tuscarora Lapidary Society (TLS) is a non-profit 501(c)(3) corporation and Pennsylvania Purely Public Charity, organized to encourage and teach the science and art of lapidary (the cutting and polishing of gemstones), as well as arts and crafts associated with lapidary interests, among any and all members of the general public. TLS carries out its mission through a series of general meetings, an annual show, educational courses and workshops, and free public displays and presentations, all open to members of the general public. With over 100 members, TLS is one of the largest lapidary societies in the Eastern United States and one of the few that is able to provide an educational program because of its workshop facility.
