About Us

A Love of Rocks and the forces of Nature that create beautiful things

Some people will see a heap of stones and walk by, and others, like us, are inexorably drawn to stoop down and examine each rock. Every Rock Hound succumbs to that urge. To feel the cool weight cupped in our palm, whilst the sun-warmth face of the stone beckons us to imagine a far away time when the earth was still young and the violent forces were forming the crests and the waves of the land. Welcome to the world of gems and mineral collecting!

Our love of rocks started a long time ago. Len has a close relationship with nature, growing up in an outdoor environment, keen collector of butterflies, botany interests and sharing his knowledge in the teaching profession. Mandy is a nature’s child and her close affinity to the environment is the thread that weaves her life. Over the years, we have become more involved in not just collecting mineral specimens from Southern Africa, but also taking the creation of Mother Nature and transforming it into treasure in the form of facetted gemstones.
