I started collecting gemstones back in the summer of 2007. My very first gemstone is an 13ct. sea green oval concave cut fluorite. From becoming just a gemstone hobbiest, to now a Pacific Northwestern Gem Hunter. In 2010, I was apprenticing under a professional certified Gemologist; learning the business and hands on experience with the tools of the trade. In 2014, I have started taking on clients in town for my Gem Hunting Services. I am currently working on my JR Gemstones Company to make a name for myself. After discovering IGS, I instantly signed up and now become part of the gemstone network!

On my spare time, I make cabochons out of ghost agates, petrified wood, and carnelians that I find. Also constantly working on my web site I've got going on.
It is never done...lol

I currently own over 670 different loose gemstones in my private collection. Both precious and semi-precious stones!
