I just want to take a moment to share with you a man who’s work in gems is outstanding – but beyond that his support of the learning process in this industry is nothing short of phenomenal.<\/span> <\/p>\n

<\/span> $\"\"$ <\/a>

Michael Hendrix is Minarex and if you attend jewelry making classes or workshops in the Southwest you may be familiar with his work. He was at our class last week and I was able to shoot some photos of his stones.<\/span><\/p>\n

$\"\"$ <\/a>
In a world that seems to be outsourcing everything to foreign workers, Mike works in the US and cuts his entire inventory himself. <\/span> …and he can tell you the story of the stone…what it is, where it comes from and in some cases the exact mine.<\/span>

You know the drill by now…click the photos for a larger view.<\/p>\n

…and now just for your viewing pleasure…a little eye candy from Minarex!<\/span><\/p>\n
