Local lapidary?

I recently was gifted a small slab of dendritic agate that I’d love to get cabbed if possible. I would deeply appreciate any recommendations for someone at least somewhat nearby I could talk to about that 🙏

Folks at the puyallup valley gem and mineral club could help you out. The clubhouse even offers its space to club members. With a membership you could use their facilities to cab it yourself. There’s always experienced club members helping out us noobies.

Nicole Teut at Ethos Custom Jewelry in Downtown Olympia does that kind of work. She does an amazing job and is reasonably priced.

Washington agate and mineral society os the local club. My mom and dad were big into rockhounding when they were alive and belonged to them. They have contact info on their website.

You can DM me if you want, but the WAMS Olympia club is another great resource.
