Milstead Gemstones was born when I was 19 years old. I knew I wanted to share my passion with others, and wanted to handle exceptional stones that I couldn't otherwise afford. 

 

I strive to offer the cleanest, most kick ass rough I can- with focus on what speaks to me personally. For me it isn't about the most popular colors, material, or desired locale - It's about the stones that make my eyes twinkle like the first time I stepped into my local gem and mineral shop. 

 

I hope my love of fine rough, my excitement for the opportunities of creation that rough provides us with, and appreciation for all the folks that make that creation possible shines through to my customers.
