Gemstones

Here is a small sampling of Nick’s carvings done in precious and semi-precious gems and minerals. Some of the works are stand-alone sculptural miniatures, while others are set in jewelry. If you would like to have a custom piece designed please reach out through the contact page or through social media.

Woman in Quartz - An elegant archetypal figurative work carved in the inverse intaglio style into a single quartz crystal.

Honeycomb in Citrine - Carving of a bee on a honeycomb, carved fully in the round. This subject is one that speaks to unity, clarity of purpose, hard work, and harmony of effort and purpose.

Tourmaline Heart - An anatomical study of a human heart, carved in the round in a beautiful piece of rubellite tourmaline. Symbolically and literally a heart, this piece speaks to the center of feeling, love, and intention.

Lion in Citrine - Carved in the inverse intaglio method, this large citrine quartz carving is evocative of courage, fortitude, and will to life.
