Shannon Marie has had a life-long love affair with stones and crystals of all shapes and forms. Shannon’s family would visit the Oregon Coast every weekend and would bring home buckets of stones to tumble. They would collect “thunder eggs” (geodes) in the Oregon desert. The collecting and gathering never ceased. She is also an International Gem Society Certified Professional Gemologist. Shannon uses her skills, knowledge and passion for stones to create beautiful jewelry, tumbled gemstones, and a variety of educational videos to help you learn about gemstones and rock tumbling!
