"To my friends around the world ... Aloha!

Buried within this site, you will find a wealth of information ranging from gem hunting to politics and stories behind the gems. You'll also have an opportunity to safely travel with me on several of my expeditions to Afghanistan via my slide shows. And for the more adventurous of you, an offer to travel with me in person!

I always enjoy hearing from everyone ... especially from the many gem collectors I've met in my travels around the world. Please take advantage of our chatroom and perhaps you'll make some friends in distant lands as well. Oh, and don't be too surprised if I drop in from time-to-time also.

Below, you will find additional definitions (and links) to help you move around the site. I hope you enjoy the website and let us be your supplier with our large inventory of over 60,000 colored gems ... Aloha!"
