I have been a TREASURE HUNTER for more than a decade. As time passes my passions have grown from metal detecting for coins, jewelry and artifacts to agate hunting then to collecting many kinds of natures treasures.

Now, to take these treasures and create objects that will hold appeal to a discerning eye.

JEWELRY DOES NOT START IN A SHOWCASE. I am working on my skills at creating cabechons. I have had some successes along the way.

The most enjoyable aspect of the lapidary hobby, for me, is collecting trips across the country.

The spherical rock is a beautiful object. One that must be held and looked at. The process to create these has been difficult but I am getting it dialed in.

Here today, gone tomorrow.

If it is listed here it is still available.
