Gemstones From Around The World
I recently returned from a buying trip at Denver International Gem & Mineral show. Shopping at the Denver Gem show is like taking a trip around the world. I visited gems dealers from all corners of the globe, many who hardly speak a word of english. They bring with them amazing and exquisite mineral specimens in all sizes and shapes. This year was no exception. Its like visiting a fine Mineral museum. In fact this show is where many buyers from museums come to find additions to their collections. Some of these gifts from the mineral kingdom can literally take your breath away
Here is a list of just some of the things I purchased.
- Blue Celestite from Madagascar
- Seraphinite and Charoite from Russia
- Shiva Lingams from India
- Nuummite from Greenland ( 3 billon years old)
- Lapis from Afghanistan
- Blue Kyanite from Brazil
- Brand new to market Orange Kyanite from Tanzania
- Malachite from Africa
- Black Tourmaline from China
- Larimar from the Dominican Republic
This show is so much fun not only to buy treasures but also to take in all the beauty that Mother Earth has to offer us. >> Continue reading

Zincite Is A Rare Gemstone From Poland
I was very fortunate to acquire some rare Zincite crystals from a gem collector who was ready to sell his collection of green Zincite from Poland. These are incredibly beautiful Zincite crystals some with perfect terminations and hexagonal shapes.
Its been several years since I had come across any Zincite from Poland and I was quite surprised and happy to hold these very rare gems once again.
Zincite has a very strange origin. Zincite comes from manufacturing facilities of zinc based paint in Poland. These crystals were discovered in vents of the smelters. Zincite is Zinc Oxide and Zinc that has become gaseous during the manufacturing process combined with oxygen and cooled forming brightly colored crystals of orange, red and green. These green Zincite crystals have an appearance of glass.
Their energy properties are quite special. As I hold these stones I find myself quick to get lost in their unique characteristics and qualities. They feel light yet dense in my hands. >> Continue reading

Manifesting with Crystals
I am giving a presentation tomorrow night, Thursday June 25, on Manifesting with Crystals. This event is being sponsored by the Purple Phoenix www.purplephoenix.com. It will be held at the Asante Center in Durango Colorado.
I’ll be talking about how to use gemstones in our everyday lives to manifest the quality of life we desire. The secret is out, we create our own realities. Gemstones are wonderful tools to assist us in setting intention, finding focus and bringing our desires and dreams into form. We are more powerful than we recognize. We are powerful creative beings.

In order to manifest we have to see life as we want it, not how it is. We give our attention and our intention to what we prefer. This is where gemstones can come in to help us.
Gemstones are energy in form. They can carry our intentions and desires into form. >> Continue reading

What to do with a Crystal & Gemstone Collection?
I think I may have found a new sideline to my work- “Crystal and Gemstone appraiser“.
All this week I’ve been helping a friend sort through, identify and price a large crystal and gemstone collection she recently acquired. She came to me and asked, “ What do I do with this amazing Crystal collection my friend needs to let go of?” I knew I could help and have some fun at the same time.
The collection contains a wide variety of beautiful gemstones and crystals which need pricing so that they can be re- sold. We have been sorting through many polished stones as well as rough mineral specimens like Malachite, Chrysocolla, Apache Tears. When a large perfect Aquamarine crystal turned up I knew the previous owner was a serious collector as this one stone is valued at more than $400.00. >> Continue reading

Crystal Readings at Key West Island Alchemy
On Saturday April 18th I will be in Key West Florida at Island Alchemy offering crystal readings from 2-6pm.
Crystal readings are similar to other forms of readings, like Tarot. A person chooses 3 gemstones from my bag of stones by feeling for an energy connection with the stone. I begin to focus on the crystal’s energy and it’s specific meaning. I will share information on how that energy can help in your everyday life. The stones offer messages and are tools to assist us in bringing balance to our lives.
During a reading, crystals provide information and insight that may help answer questions about love, career, happiness or any other area of daily life.
Each semi-precious gemstone radiates a different energy and has it’s own unique vibration. The way the stones resonate with you helps you learn about yourself , as well as helps you to identify what is going on in your life and what needs healing and balancing. >> Continue reading
Selling my jewelry at the art fair
Selling jewelry, crystals, gemstones and minerals at shows is so much fun. This weekend I displayed my collection of treasures at a local art show, sponsored by the local art gallery “ Artist in Paradise” here on Big Pine Key. The day was warm and breezy, one of those #10 days we like to boast about here in the Keys. Attendance was good as people milled about, perusing the art and crafts of local Keys artists.
What I like so much about exhibiting at art shows is meeting the people who buy my jewelry and stones. Watching the responses as folks pick up a stone or place a necklace around their neck completes the connection for me. We get to talk about how the stones make them feel, what attracts them to a certain piece. I can learn what people are looking for. >> Continue reading
