Charles & Joy Johnson donated a large collection of rocks & lapidary equipment to the GSLAESC Scholarship Fund in Fall 2024.  Proceeds from all sales will go to the scholarship fund.

Bidding has closed for the lapidary equipment that was being auctioned.  Thank you to everyone who bid!  We are contacting bidders to inform them whether or not their bid won.

Most of the donated rocks will be sold through the Scholarship Boutique at our Treasures of the Earth show in August over the next several years.  Thank you to everyone who helped move them to their temporary home!

Bidding for the lapidary equipment has closed.  Bidders are being contacted.

GSLAESC makes no guarantees about how well or how long these machines will work.  We believe that they worked the last time the donor tried to use them.  We have plugged them in and run them, but we have not tried to cut any rocks with them.

Pickup & Payment

Payment should be in cash or check payable to "GSLAESC".  We will not be able to accept credit cards.

Winning bidders will be able to remove their items November 30 between 10 and noon CST from a drive-up storage unit in St. Peters, Missouri.  Details are being provided to winning bidders.
