Mission Statement

At Distracted By Rocks, our mission is to honor the natural beauty of the earth by transforming rare gemstones into handcrafted cabochons. Inspired by a legacy of rockhounding and a lifelong passion for lapidary artistry, we bring out the unique character in every stone—celebrating the colors, patterns, and history within.

We strive to connect rockhounds, lapidary artists, jewelry makers, and collectors with one-of-a-kind, expertly crafted cabochons, ensuring that each piece tells a story millions of years in the making. Through craftsmanship, education, and community, we aim to inspire a deeper appreciation for the art of stone cutting and the wonder of the natural world.

About Me

I’ve been obsessed with rocks for as long as I can remember—maybe it runs in my blood. Some of the stones I work with were passed down from my great-grandfather, a dedicated rockhound and miner, and I get to bring them to life through lapidary artistry. At Distracted By Rocks, I hand-cut and polish each cabochon to showcase the beauty that Mother Earth created. If you love rare agates, lapidary art, and getting completely distracted by rocks like I do, you’re in the right place! Let’s geek out over gorgeous stones together.
