About Us

 As a beautiful flower that is full of hue but lacks fragrance, even so fruitless is the well-spoken word of one who does not practise it...


Stone Flower (Kamennyi Tsvetok in Russian),  was planted in 1986 as a  first private "Kooperativ" in Moscow...we had about 80 workers working all over Soviet Union...with a fall of Soviet Union a seed of the Flower fell in Las Vegas, Nevada, where it started to grow as  Stone Flower, LLC. I invest and participate in various projects all over the world, lately focused on South_East Asia and Russia trying hard to unveil the most interesting areas of gem hunting, bring them to the eyes of gem-admirers... world leading companies who deal with gem cutting, jewelry manufacturing and design...  

Stone Flower, LLC buys, sells and participates in various international Gem and mineral Shows in Tokyo, Hong Kong, Bangkok, Tucson, AZ, Las Vegas, etc. I attend numerous symposia and meetings organized by leading institutions in gem industry, like Gemological Institute of America (GIA).
