He has been a jewelry-making, stone-cutting rockhound for almost 50 years and has owned the mine for the last 28 years. For his presentation, Kurt will be bringing along rock samples and beautiful jewelry made with amethyst from his mine. For one day only, the jewelry will be sold at reduced prices (10% off).
