I've loved rocks and sparkly things and ornament forever. I starting cutting stones when I was 10 (30 years ago!) and started silversmithing when I was 12. Been a full time lapidary for about 15 years now but quit the silversmithing back in the early '90's. My work went from mostly freeform cabochons to mostly beads.... I'm known as a "rogue lapidary" because while my work is mostly in "semi-precious" gemstones, I also work in non-traditional materials like bowlerite, fordite, boat-paintite, and other odd treasures I can get my hands on!

doing business with us.... Right now my sales are just on eBay. No shows, no custom orders (unless you are REALLLY nice to me), no store, except on eBay. I'm happy to hold multiple auction wins and store purchases over time so that everything can be shipped at once. I do my work in geological time (it's a stone cutter thing...), so if you need something shipped IMMEDIATELY, let me know! We are easy to do business with but only go to the post office once a week and believe a computer is something we can turn off and not look at for a whole day.
