Mission

To provide ethically mined minerals and jewelry from the state of Colorado. All minerals are mined by myself and friends in the state of Colorado.  All my jewelry is hand crafted by local artisans from the state of Colorado.  All of my sterling silver necklaces and settings are sourced from the USA.  

Vision

At Lone Wolf Prospecting LLC, I take immense pride in my artisanal approach, ensuring that each piece is crafted with meticulous attention to detail and imbued with the raw beauty of the minerals themselves. All my jewelry, faceting, setting, and creation are done by skilled Colorado craftsmen, showcasing the artistry that meets the natural world.
