lapidary (the word means “concerned with stones”) is an artisan who forms stone, mineral, gemstones, and other suitably durable materials (amber, shell, jet, pearl, copal, coral, horn and bone, glass and other synthetics) into decorative items (e.g. cameos, cabochons, and faceted designs). Diamond cutters are generally not referred to as lapidaries, due to the specialized techniques which are required to work diamond.
