経歴
The lapidary bug hit me many moons ago, my interest sprouted after I saw an opal that my mother had cabbed at a lapidary club when I was just 7yrs old. Moving forward many years, I finally decided that admiring was just not enough and purchased my first cabbing machine. Since then, I have literally cut and sold thousands of opals from around the world. I recently took it one step further and now have my newfound love of precision faceting. As with opals, I take great pleasure in exposing the heavenly hidden beauty within each piece of rough that I cut. To allow them to come to fruition as objects of beauty to pleasure and inspire others like myself. My late wife (In my profile picture) was, and still is my inspiration. She traveled by my side and enjoyed these passions along with me. Even though we are currently apart, as the song says “Her love is like the wind...I can’t see it, but I can feel it”. Unlike some of the other talented people profiled here, I only have one award-winning competition under my belt… but the night is still young.

なぜオレゴンサンストーンを？
Oregon Sunstone has replaced my first love in gemstones, the opal. Opal is a wonderous and beautiful gem, but for me, it doesn’t compare to the beauty of a colorfully faceted or carved Sunstone. Maybe I’ve been tainted having worked with opals for so many years, whatever the reason; the beauty of the sunstone is to me like a breath of fresh air. Colored gemstones are awe-inspiring windows into the beauty of tomorrow and the Oregon Sunstone rough is beauty begging to be released. It amazes me that so much is going on in the Oregon sunstone, so many combinations for so many outcomes. Different colors, pleochroism, and aventurescence or shiller make for the perfect American Gemstone!
