Our Story
Rocks and minerals have always been a fascination of mine. Even as a kid I collected rocks and mineral specimens. My favorites were a beautiful cluster of yellow sulfur crystals, and a cube of iron pyrite Tumbled stones made at home or purchased were always fun to make and collect. But music lessons, school, sports, and just having fun were always limitations.
I developed a large collection of of amazing rocks and minerals over the years. Then as retirement approached my wife and I decided to begin downsizing and the collection was donated to the New Mexico Mineral Museum at the New Mexico Tech campus in Socorro, NM. These specimens are display.
Now, I am retired and able to spend time with what could only be dabbled with before. With the equipment and time to collect, cut, and polish stones from their rough state to beautiful pieces of art, my business can share this experience with others.
Send me your special rocks and stones with instructions of what you wish to be done and it will be done to your specifications and returned to you promptly. Or, if you live near Chico, CA, bring it by my place of business and we can talk about what options are available to turn your piece into beautiful jewelry, book ends, display items, etc.
