Blue Owyhee Gems (BOG) is my way of providing beautiful stones from the Northwest. Every cabochon and piece of jewelry is a unique and one of a kind piece. Tillamook Blue Jasper, Fantasy Plume Agate, and Owyhee Blue Opal are very rare to begin with so you will probably never see anyone else wearing a piece of it. I personally collect 90 % of the material I work with. My name is Neal and I am located in Kuna, Idaho. I love doing custom work but my shop is private. I will gladly work with clients via e-mail. Feel free to send me questions.
Fanatsy Plume Agate came from a vein of agate near the famed Graveyard Point Plume Agate beds in NE Oregon. Owyhee Opal is not exceptionally rare, but the stable blue pieces are hard to find. There is also a swirling pattern found in the Owyhees that is stable and I will occassionally offer a piece of it.. If I am fortunate enough to find some old stock Owyhee Jasper, etc then I will obtain it and cut it into unique designer cabs so I can offer you something beautiful and rare. I only cut and polish what I consider to be the top ten percent. You can be sure each item is unique and not altered by chemicals or dies.
The Graveyard Point Plume Agate is from the original Stewart claim. I was able to obtain a limited amount of what I consider to be some of the best for exotic plumes. The black dendrites, golden marcasite crystals and wild plumes are very unique.
I do all the cutting and polishing in my shop in Idaho. Every cabochon is a freeform designer piece, no machine cut or pieces from over seas. Looking out my shop window as I cut I can view the Owyhee Mountains and watch the horses, hawks or whatever is wandering by that day. Fantastic inspiration for my cutting.
PURCHASING: I accept, PAYPAL and certified checks. Other payments are acceptable but will slow down the process while funds clear. All sales are on a first come basis. I will try to contact you quickly. If I am out in the mountains collecting it could be a few days, please be patient.
SHIPPING: I use the US Postal Service. All items will be insured. I will combine items to save you money where possible. There is a $3.00 fee on cabochons to cover insurance, packaging, handling etc. I will combine items when possible. I will use what ever shipper is cheapest on heavy shipments such as thundereggs.
