Exotic Gemstones for the Collector


"Human subtlety...will never devise an invention more beautiful, more simple or more direct than does nature... because in her inventions, nothing is lacking and nothing is superfluous." 

Leonardo da Vinci 1452-1519

In this exhibit, expect the unexpected.

We are very pleased to present some of the finest and rarest examples of exotic collector gemstones. Many stones are rare to the extent that you may encounter difficulty finding reference to them in standard gemological texts.

Few museums have samples of all those presented here-- fewer still, the quality shown.
