 What is Lapidary?Lapidary ! What's that ?
Lapidary is the art of cutting and polishing rough stones in order to transform them into rounded or faceted gems suitable for jewellery.
The expert cutting of a gem greatly enhances its value by giving it harmonious proportions and by bringing out to the fullest its lustre, brilliancy, colour, and fire.
A craftsman who cuts gems is also called a lapidary.
