I show diamond, Garnet, Sapphire, ruby, peridot, moonstone, bloodstone, pearl, amethyst, citrine, sardonyx, emerald, diamond and opal. All aspects of these gems, including their properties regarding personal life, are presented it.

    I can't think of another site that I get more enjoyment out of than watching you and listening to you talk about stones and what you do with them. My mom and dad were into lapidary when I was young and for probably 30 years I helped them haul around 500 lb of rocks from where they moved to where they moved, so this is very special to me. I don't know how to use all this new fangled internet cuz I'm 70 and I just never had an interest in technology but I just wanted to let you know how much I enjoyed everything that you talk about and everything that you show 😁😎

      rocks are literally beneath us everywhere and yet so few people understand just how beautiful they are.

    I am so glad you talked about moonstone. I have a soft spot in my heart for the tiny colorful globe because of a little prayer that my dad taught me when I was little.
    I used to be afraid of the dark, but Dad showed me the beauty of the night and that God made all of it. Then he taught me to find the moon whenever I’m out and say; “I see the moon and the moon sees me. God blessed the moon and God blessed me.”
    Dad is gone now, but I still remember him every night, when the moon shines bright.
