FAQ
Lapidary World & The Australian Gem Club Directory
Clubs all around the world can now have an affiliate webpage on this site for a
yearly fee of only $20.00 (US) per year. Bringing every club a little closer together it
hopes to grow and provide information and services on a national and international
level all on the one site location. Every club web page has its own separate Url,
which they can publicize and use for their own club. Clubs only need to make
contact with us and we can then add or update their details to the allocated web site
page. Australian Clubs are exempt from this fee as their payment is sponsored.
We will only add web page links that go directly to the actual named club site. This
way its not misleading for people and leading them to a generalized web directory
that they have to search through. Every club needs to have its own individual
identity so they can communicate with people in their own specific areas.
It's up to every individual club if they wish to be part of this directory in one way or
another and it should never be controlled by any individual organization.
Having an international site such as this will help develop a stronger relationship
between members over the vastness of the world letting others have access to
information and taking clubs to a new level. Every club should have equal rights of
access to information, gemstone localities and the general comradeship that has
existed within the clubs for so many years.
This site is not in place to take away anything offered by other existing websites but
rather add another service. It’s a totally nonprofit website and all clubs around the
world have the right to use the services offered on the site for free. In fact we
encourage participation by members to use the Buy – Swap & Sell, to send in their
events, provide details of their field trips, provide information on gemstone localities
and provide stories with photos.
About The Webmaster
John Boom creator of this site started collecting rocks at around 7 or 8 years old
some 43 years ago and then joined the Geelong Gem & Mineral club. He has had
many years of pleasure while growing up enjoying club field trips and the pleasures
of the actual hobby itself. Over the years he has had a Lapidary shop, several
jewelry stores and has written numerous Ebooks in several fields, and producer of
computer disk Jigsaw puzzles. He is also the author and producer of Australian
Pictorials and has managed several businesses in many varied areas.
Producer of http://www.search-the-world.com, and http://www.search-the-world.
com/auctions/ A professional singer (Johnny B - www.johnnyb.com.au) songwriter
and recording artist and list goes on. Although now retired he finds himself working
full time for the pleasure of his interests and pastimes. As with many of us he hasn’t
always been able to allocate time toward the hobby when wanted because of other
commitments. But now with the production of this site he is able to give a small
token back to the hobby that has been of interest to him all his life. The site design
is simple and easy to navigate and he hopes more children will relate to the general
design features of the site.
The children of today are the collectors of tomorrow and every encouragement
should be given to the young to go out into the field, enjoy nature, maybe find some
nice stones and get a general appreciation for the hobby as whole. There are many
areas where the hobby can take an interested person from collecting micro
minerals, general collecting, polishing gems, metal detecting and jewellery making.
The bright colored gem and mineral photos and the many moving graphics do slow
the site opening pages down but the benefits of seeing so many nice photos make
it worth the wait for the pages to open.
The site author hopes everyone will take the time to have a regular look through
the site and perhaps contribute something no matter how small in regards to
content for the site.
