The Valley Springs Powwow
always has been about the
wonder and beauty of a
very special corner of
California, Calaveras County.

Rockhounds are always
delighted at the quality
of Moss Agate to be
found at the Snyder Ranch,
and Gemologists fashion
the rough into works of
jewelry art.



This series of rough aquamarine crystals produced the beautiful
selection below, after expert polishing and faceting.








The above uncut alluvial aquamarine crystal above, from Brazil,
produced the 62 carat beauty below. 



It's still part of faceter Ron Lupton's collection -
he can be contacted at relupton@msn.com
