Support the Club
Keep the saws turning.
Since 1950, Paradise Gem & Mineral Club has taught people to cut, polish, and set stone. Your gift keeps the shop open, the classes running, and the craft passed on.
We need help now to stay in our clubhouse.
Our new Chico location costs roughly $30,000 a year in rent, power, and upkeep. Every gift, one-time or monthly, keeps the doors open.
- Every gift goes to the club, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit.
- Secure checkout through Square. Your receipt arrives by email.
- Monthly gifts can be canceled at any time.
