For all of our friends out there that don't get the Gold Prospectors Magazine there is a very interesting article in the Sept/Oct issue that talks about the Oregon Sunstone and the open pit mining process. It is a fun read and very educational, plus, as an added bonus one of our sunstone necklaces and a sunstone/petrified pine cone pendant are pictured in the article.
In 1994 Becky received an Honorable Mention for her 9.54ct Oregon Sunstone Ring entry in the prestigious AGTA Spectrum Awards.

We are deeply concerned by ongoing human rights abuses in Burma. Thus, we support the Tom Lantos JADE Act of 2008, which banned the importation of Burmese-mined rubies and jaeite, effective September 27, 2008, until such time as the Burmese government begins to make progress toward democratic reforms.
We require assurances from our gemstone suppliers that they are abiding by the JADE Act, and are sourcing non-Burmese rubies and jadeite from importers who comply with the strict import rules created by U. S. Customs and Border Protection.
Join us in Becky's garden for a special Art, Tea and Talk with Richard Kooyman. Richard will be showing his artwork and talking about the process he uses in creating his paintings. Tuesday July 21st from 2pm-3pm.
Followed immediately by our regular Tea & Talk Series in which we will be discussing Designer Stones and Lapidary Artists'.

Sometimes this unique stone goes unnoticed, it is not a flashy or sparkly stone, you don't see it draped around the neck's of young starlets at movie premiers but this is really a hidden gem. It's rich browns and oranges with swirls of black and muted beige's are so neutral it goes with everything! I can't think of a color that it doesn't go with. Try it with red for a very striking combination.
