It is hard to believe, I know- but even more changes are coming to Tip Top Gem and you will have to keep your ear to the ground or come to see me in Tucson, because I am not about to tell you here.

Let me say that when I told you about the last huge change- moving to Thailand so that I could bring you a greater variety of stones and higher quality at better prices- I was surely not kidding. Sit tight for now. This next change might surprise you. Of course subscribers to the newsletter (look to your right for the link to sign up) always get information first!
Take good care,


Love the new blog look. Kinda miss the clocks, but the spot prices are a nice touch.
I like your blog because of all the info, but I would like to see a picture of both of you so that you would seem more like a part of “my” family.
Keep up the good work.
Dad…
