In North America, producing high quality gem rough and the cutting of astonishing gemstones relies heavily on a small number of hard-working gemstone miners and skilled artists.
American Gemstones has the pleasure of bring to the public some of the gemstones, information and stories of the artists and mines who bring extraordinary gemstones to light. Posts of related stories and information are attached to most images on the website.
We believe in the worth and ability of museums to reach the public and have contributed many gems to several museums across the country. Luckily, we also are connected to the new UA Alfie Norville Gem & Mineral Museum which provided an opportunity to display (on a permanent, but rotating basis) portions of the American Gemstone Legacy collection within the museum.
Of course, we like the related stories like…To Boldly Go, Journey to OZ, Purple Haze…what do you think?
