What We Offer
Available Gemstones (and more)
Garnet – Most people think of garnet as a brownish red common gemstone. However, garnets can be found in many colors – such as green, yellow, purple, orange, and some phenomena such as color change, or fire.
Oregon Sunstone – These are very unique stones, many with phenomena, from clear to yellow with green, red, and minute copper inclusions that will provide sheen when viewed from some directions.
Opals – opals come in many forms, and are one of my favorite gemstones. The play of color is mesmerizing. There are the rare black opals, and bolder opals to name a few unfamiliar types.
Rough crystals – sometimes rough crystals are beautiful enough to make jewelry out of without cutting or polishing, or with minimal polishing.
Argentium Silver
I am an authorized seller of Argentium Silver a proprietary Sterling Silver .935 pure, which is tarnish resistant, and has a high luster.
