Gemstone Art 

I got into gems to make art and I never considred thought I could actually source my own materials also?!... Just so happens we live in one of the richest pegmatite zones in the U.S. ~So I got lucky. I love geology and the hunt for crazy treasure. I spent my life this far studying art so mix it all up and you get a little science and art that retains and only grows value!
