Club History
The Stockton Lapidary And Mineral Club was organized in 1939, though the club was inactive during WWII years of the early '40's. The club has been in continuous operation throughout the years. In November of 1959 the 3136 East Anita Street property was acquired. Early on, the club decided to host and annual show, known for years as the Earth's Treasures Gem, Mineral, Jewelry, and Bead Show. Over the years, the show has grown to the point that we typically have over a thousand visitors to the show, including hundreds of youngsters. Our club membership includes dozens of folks with varying interests--some loving to be out in the field, some loving to cut and polish gemstones, some loving to visit school classrooms, and some just wanting to be in touch with and support what we do.
Our youngest is 10 years old and our oldest is in her 80's.
