New Products

Every time we return from our annual buying trip in Brazil we always come back with some beautiful and fun new products. See out New Products Rock page for the latest items. While not new, the following items are some of our very best sellers.

The 10 piece agate bar windchimes make such a beautiful sound it makes you wish for a windy day! The Uruguayan Amethyst with cut base and polished sides is such a dark purple it nearly looks black. Finally, Sticky Stones (Magnetic Hematite) are so much fun to play with.

These are just a few of the great products you can purchase inside our online catalog, so come on in!

Trip Highlights - Our Last Trip To Brazil

Every year on our annual buying trip in Brazil we take a day off from our busy schedule and do something fun. This year we traveled even further south almost to the Argentinean border to visit an Amethyst mine.

 On a gorgeous sunny day in October we ventured underground to see where, and how, all this beautiful Amethyst we sell is mined. To say the conditions are primitive would be a huge understatement.

 Working in near darkness the miners toil in almost airless conditions to remove Amethyst cathedrals of all sizes from the surrounding Basalt rock in which they are imbedded.

Workers are paid much better if they remove the cathedrals intact, the miners use dynamite and pneumatic drills with the painstaking care to ensure that they safely remove the Amethyst.

This last picture shows a room which contains the fruits of their hard labor.
