We are Stephen and Tiffany Wolters. We have been married for 25 years. Long before our love of Far-UVC our love of natural history led us to weekends on the beach collecting abalone, sea glass, shells, agates & driftwood after storms. In the mountains we collected stunning pinecones like “Sugar Pines”, giant yellow jackets nests (empty of course), bird nests (Stephen found me a hummingbird nest on a stick), redwood burls and curly wood. We hiked the hills following the wild turkeys to collect their giant and pristine feathers. All the treasures in the wild.

In 2004, Stephen found and purchased "Unheated/Untreated Aquamarine”. Beautiful brilliance was in our hands. We spent the next 4 years collecting & learning about genuine gemstones. We learned about their origin, rarities beyond measure, even mines & gemstones being newly discovered as we were collecting. About 6 years after this, the entire world was transformed from genuine gemstones to lab created & there we were, watching a dying age of beauty disappear. For over 15 years it seemed that the love of genuine gemstones was lost. Jewelry stores had lost their desire to sell them.

Recently, genuine gemstones began reappearing. It was so refreshing to see them again. There is a desire for the purity of a natural earth grown gemstone with amazing phenomena. Pleochroic, color changing & brilliant.

Now, it is time they shine for you.
