Gems and Minerals of the Bible
This display of lapidary arts was designed and crafted by Betty and Otis Witworth. The first piece was started in the early 1980's and it became a 20 year project.
The pieces evolved and were redesigned as their crafting abilities advanced. With urging from friends the display went on to be entered into local and national lapidary events. The display was entered in competition in the Educational Division through 1998 and was shown as an informational exhibit through 2004.
