All this rock talk has brought back some lovely memories!
Gemstones, minerals and fossils have always been one of my most favorite things...after all...they ARE among the oldest antiques!
My youth was an abundance of uniqueness. All the women in my imitate family were terrific
artisans and crafters! My character was woven with love, support and art...the best things in life!!
...From my family owning an antique store and constantly touring the US (as a teen) with my Aunt to collect rare finds, to digging through the dirt or along shores for unique "rock" findings... to studying at the Gemological Institute of America in Carlsbad, California... my passion for earthly treasures will forever continue!

I can't wait to see where my passions take me to discover more of earth's rich creations!
