“Of all of the ways to adorn yourself, what has nature created that has lasting beauty like a rock?  As soon as you cut a flower, it wilts.  A sunset is beautiful, but you can’t capture or wear it.  There is something so special and everlasting about nature’s creation of minerals and rocks.”

– Author and Gemologist Antoinette Matlins.
