The Bidwell Gem & Mineral Museum will inspire the next generations of geologists and lapidarists. Families and schools will experience the passion and dedication of Mr. Bidwell and his own private collection of stones and gems.
Exhibit the hard work of Larry and the many generations of club members
Be an integral part of the vibrant Glendora community
Expose the next generation to this beautiful artform and science
Anton Mathias,
former rock club member
Without field work, geophysical techiques, and chemical analysis, lapidary would not be possible
Cutting, grinding, and polishing stones is beautiful self-expression
Educators from all over Southern California have pledged to build impactful exhibits
We could not honor Larry's memory without mimicking his engaging teaching style. Each exhibit will emerse the budding geologist in a world of science and beauty.
With your help! We need dedicated individual contributors who care about great teachers, positive educational programs, and the future of all lost arts. Join us to keep Larry Bidwell's dream alive.
