I found myself drawn to the beauty of rocks when my wife and I started traveling and landed in Quartzsite, Arizona for the winter. The town holds large rock and jewelry shows through the winter and classes on how to cut, shape and polish the rocks into cabochons. I took a few classes, bought equipment and I now cut gemstones for my wife who designs and creates jewelry from these stones. Because I cut so many stones, I am able to offer them to other designers.
