Hello! I’m a passionate lapidary artist, opal miner, and gemstone cutter dedicated to transforming raw stones into distinctive works of art.

Although my professional background was in secondary school science and mathematics education, my true passion has always been the intricate craft of gemstone cutting

— particularly freeform designs that celebrate the natural character of each stone.

Working with materials such as opal, chrysoprase, agate, jasper, and petrified wood, I enjoy exploring the unique beauty and possibilities hidden within every piece.

Each creation is individually crafted with care, creativity, and respect for the stone’s natural form, making them ideal for collectors, jewellers, and anyone seeking something truly unique.

If you’re interested in one-of-a-kind cabochons or would like to learn more about the art of lapidary, I’d be delighted to hear from you.
