We sell a variety of diamonds at our galleries! We sell Herkimer diamonds from New York and Payson specimen diamond from Arizona!

Scientific information: Herkimer diamonds are formed in sedimentary rock. The pockets in the sedimentary rock would fill up with gas from decomposing creatures several layers below and air pressure would increase. The air pressure combined with the increasing heat create these crystals that are Herkimer diamonds. Payson diamonds are formed by lesser pressure than Herkimers, and often form in geodes due to hollowed out areas in sedimentary rock.
Revealed by Man: Herkimer diamonds were first discovered by miners in the 18th century. They were found in large quantities with dolostone. Herkimer diamonds can be found in the Middle East, New York, and parts of Asia. Payson diamonds were found at Payson, Arizona in the late 1900s. Where they were found is now called Diamond Point.
Legend and Lore: Herkimer diamonds are said to strengthen ones mind. Herkimer diamonds are also fabled to promote energy and focus as well as purify spaces and purify yourself. Payson diamonds bring high energy. They are said to amplify spiritual energy and intelligence.

We remember Saint Patrick’s success in establishing monasteries, churches, and schools in Ireland! It is said that he used the shamrock to teach young children about the Holy Trinity and that if you weren’t wearing green, leprechauns would pinch you.

​Scientific Information: Aquamarine is a sub-gemstone of the mineral Beryl. Aquamarine forms in magma as the magma cools. Beryl comes in many different colors, however, when there is iron present as the magma cools, the mineral takes on a blue-green color becoming Aquamarine.
Revealed by Man: Romans name the gemstone for its resemblance to the sea, “aqua” for water and “mar” for sea. Sailors would always keep Aquamarine on their personnel to please Neptune, the Roman god of the sea.
Legend and Lore: Aquamarine is said to bestow bravery as well as happiness and focus. Aquamarine also encourages healing and youth.

​Meteorites have crash landed on Earth!
Visit any of our three locations to view our offerings! These Muonionalusta Meteorites came to Earth just for you!

Scientific Information: Muonionalusta Meteorites are very rare because they are made up of a sturdy yet easily weldable Nickel-Iron alloy as well as stishovite. Stishovite is an incredibly solid mineral that is unique to find on the Earth's crust. The combination of the alloy and the stishovite created a stunning gridded pattern.
Revealed by Man: Muonionalusta Meteorites were first discovered in Sweden in 1906 and is the oldest known meteorite to land on Earth. Muonionalusta Meteorites entered the Earth’s atmosphere around 800,000 to 1,000,000 years ago.
Legend and Lore: Meteorites are often revered as omens or gifts from gods across the world. Muonionalusta Meteorites are stones of high vibration that promote personal growth and spiritual growth. They also amplify psychic abilities.

Scientific Information: When volcanic lava cools, pockets in the magma begin to form and gas fills them. If manganese is in those pockets during the cooling, the quartz crystals that form retain a purple hue.
Revealed by Man: Amethyst was first discovered in the Archaic period, when Ancient Greece began to thrive, around 6th to 8th century BC. Leonardo Di Vinci in the late 1400s was quite fond of amethyst.
Legend and Lore: Ancient Greeks believed that amethyst would deflect intoxication. In medieval Europe, soldiers would wear amethyst to battle because it would deter distraction. Amethyst is said to promote dreams and intelligence.
