The stones find their way
This is Botas...a local Lapidary who comes around unschedueled offering his stones every few weeks so if your in the right place at the right moment you could strike gold with his talent. He walks the hills with a limp, cane and friendly smile carrying bags of Gems in his pockets whose shapes and facets are aesthetically mishapen and beautiful by nature. Familiar gemstones often include, Onyx, Obsidian, Pyrite, Amethyst, Mother of Pearl, and the odd Abalone, you just never know what’s going to show up. I often chip away at some kind of rough mineral specifically the Lava Rock and Pyrite you see in the Collection, shaping stones is an art of it’s own, and one that I hope...
