Today’s episode is #sponsored In part by our friend’s @riogrande In episode 7 I’m talking about the beautiful stones from lapidary artist @eckel.lapidary and doing a GIVEAWAY (congrats to winner @kristalavonasdesigns )of four of his gorgeous stones (two agates, Ocean picture stone, and jasper) Entering is easy! Please follow @eckel.lapidary + leave us a comment and tag a jeweler/lapidary artist/maker friend in the comments! I want to spread the word about Gem Talk so that I can connect members of our community with gemstone dealers and lapidary artists that are doing their best to source their materials ethically and sustainably. You can get an extra entry for sharing Gem Talk to your Instagram stories (and tagging me so I can see it) A winner will be selected and announced in 48 hours!💎 I hope you enjoyed this episode, be sure to check out my GEM DIRECTORY on metalsmithsociety.com for a full list of all the gemstone dealers and lapidary artists that have been on Gem Talk. It lists what stones they specialize in as well. ❤️ #thoughtfullysourced #gemstones #lapidaryartists
