Rocks gems from Milesbio See my bio page for more info. In general I specialize in Alaska rocks that I find myself . The exception is I go to the big Tucson gem show (my mother lives there). I hand select and trade for cool rocks from around the world. Far left bulk cut gems I sell by the weight. Left, a dry river bed filled with jasper, quartz etc
