Turbo Vortex

  • GEMSTONE:        Smoky Quartz __ Carat Carving
  •  ARTIST:               Aaron Sangenitto, California
  •  MINE:                  Hallelujah Junction, Nevada
  • MUSEUM:            Unassigned

This golden spiral orb was carved from light smoky quartz rough mined at Hallelujah Junction. Aaron Sangenitto deftly carved the impression of spiraling motion into this playful work of gemstone artistry.

Aaron mined the gemstone rough himself during a trip to Hallelujah Junction with American Gemstones and a group of other artists. Aaron is known as a great gemstone carver and his polishes are spot on.  We can almost feel the wind flowing over the glassy smooth surfaces of Turbo Vortex.

This gemstone demonstrates, in the right hands, what may seem an ordinary piece of gemstone rough can transform into a stunning gemstone. While all gemstone artists appreciate cutting rare or unique gem rough, I believe all would agree, obtaining a unique result for any gemstone depends on the skill and vision of the artist. We have always appreciated the talents and distinctive gemstones cut by Aaron Sangenitto.
