We've had this Etsy account since 2014 but never had the chance to do anything with it because, well, basically life happened. Back in 2014 our kids were six and eight, and working full-time and striving to be the best dad I could be didn't mesh with Etsy. We didn't have any time, forget energy. It's like that scene from one of the Shrek movies, the one where they have kids. You see a few sequences where Shrek and his lady are running around like crazy, changing diapers, preparing formula, etc. when it cuts to a scene where they've finally put everyone to sleep and are sitting on the bed. They ask each other what they want to do now, now that the babies are asleep. Cut to the next scene, both are on their backs, snoring. We laughed SO hard at that :D And that was pretty much how it was for us back in 2014. Sure, we were past the baby stages but if you're trying to be a worthy mom/dad, children do, and should, take all of your time and energy.
So, after an 8 year delay, We've finally made it onto Etsy (and are really psyched about it, too).

5 out of 5 starsThis piece has the feel of a modern abstract painting. I love the matte finish so much that I decided not to polish it — and even without polishing, the colors are striking. A truly wonderful work of art. Thank you so much!

This one...it was one of my very favorites, actually. I, too, viewed it as a modern art canvas, only on rock. I love it when I can connect with fellow rockhounds in terms of esthetics. Obviously beauty is in the eye of the beholder, but you and I have VERY similar in this regard. I hope it brings you joy and happiness every time you gaze upon it.

5 out of 5 starsThis is a stunning piece — I've even given it a nickname, "One Thousand and One Nights." I've been trying hand-polishing it myself, and although I haven't been able to achieve a true mirror polish yet, the beauty of this agate still comes through clearly. I'm very happy with it, and hopefully one day I'll get the chance to see it at its full potential.

"One Thousand and One Nights" - knowing what the rock looks like when you hold it in your hands, I know EXCATLY why you named it that. Perfect!

5 out of 5 starsI've been trying hand-polishing this piece myself, but it's been harder than I expected. There are very few places in Korea where you can get stones polished to a high standard, and without anyone to ask for advice, I find myself struggling to figure out what I'm missing. I would gladly pay extra to receive pieces already polished, if that were ever an option in the future. This piece is my eldest child's favorite among all the stones I'm collecting. The photo shows my own attempt at polishing — I haven't been able to achieve a true mirror polish yet, so the full depth of color isn't coming through the way it deserves. Hopefully one day I'll get the chance to see this beautiful agate at its full potential. Thank you for such a wonderful specimen.

Thank you very much for your kind words, it makes me feel validated. Everything is hard at first, but I'm confident you will get the hang of polishing in due time. And noted about polished pieces. As a matter of fact, I'm going to ask a few rockhound friends of mine to see if they have any high-quality polished pieces they would be willing to part with, for you. All that to one side, I LOVE the fact this piece is the favorite of your eldest. Again, thank you very much 🙏

5 out of 5 starsThis stunning Jasper Agate is an absolute masterpiece of nature’s artistry! The exterior bursts with rich, fiery tones of deep orange, vibrant yellow, and earthy red, beautifully accented by patches of lush green that give it a dynamic, almost painterly quality. What truly takes my breath away is the captivating geode-like interior, with its soft white and gray banding framing a sparkling cavity filled with lustrous druzy crystals and botryoidal formations. The contrast between the rugged outer vibrancy and the serene, crystalline heart creates a sense of wonder and depth that draws you in for endless admiration. This piece feels alive with positive energy!! This is my second time buying from this Etsy store and I couldn’t be happier!

5 out of 5 stars5/5 Stars – Stunning Plume Agate Slab! I just received this Plume Agate Slab and I’m completely blown away by its natural artistry! This is one of the most beautiful display pieces I’ve added to my collection. The intricate “plume” patterns are absolutely mesmerizing — delicate, feather-like formations in rich earthy reds, warm oranges, creamy whites, blues, purples and soft pinks that look like frozen smoke or blooming flowers trapped in stone. Every angle reveals something new, with beautiful banding and translucent areas that glow when backlit. Superb quality, breathtaking patterns, and a true standout piece. Highly recommended — I’m already thinking about ordering another!

I'm a pretty well-travelled guy and have had my share of experiences, but I have not found anything as wonderful as nature. How it looks, how it smells, how it feels...everything about nature stimulates me beyond words, it soothes my body and soul.

I always start with "I love nature" when I need to talk about myself--and it's true :) I connect with nature unlike anything else. Working on social media and photography and connecting with likeminded friends is wonderful--especially about nature.
