I began selling gems and minerals and studying gemology in the late 1980’s. I traveled around the states with gem/mineral and craft shows for a couple of years before settling in Gainesville, FL where I opened a shop called The White Cloud. In 1992, I got a job counseling, packed all the store stuff away and forgot about it until now. What a surprise to find these beautiful crystals and minerals after all that time…
