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.
