Gemstones the size of your thumbnail or larger are exceedingly rare. The primary and finest source of this unique gem is on the northwest shore of Lake Superior between Grand Marais and Lutsen, Minnesota, which land is now mostly under private ownership. Because of Thomsonite's unique formation, patterns and colors, jewelry crafting must be done to conform to the shape and markings of each individual stone to preserve their unique eyes, markings and other wonderful traits. Fine, beautifully colored and pleasingly marked Thomsonite gemstones are scarce and hard to come by. They are removed from bedrock with great difficulty using hand tools. Because of the recent surge of popularity and demand, they have become a treasure to be owned by mineral collectors and jewelry lovers, who have "everything".
