About
Nestled in the heart of the United States turquoise trade region just outside Albuquerque, New Mexico Stone Art is a family-owned lapidary studio and online gemstone dealer dedicated to providing quality stones for artists, silversmiths, wire wrappers, jewelry makers, and collectors.
Our journey began in the 1980s when Ken discovered a passion for unique, high-quality gemstones and the art of silversmithing. Over the years, that passion grew into a family tradition. Today, his son Matt carries on the craft through the lapidary side of the business, bringing skill, creativity, and a natural talent for transforming rough stone into beautiful finished pieces. The next generation, Henry, is beginning his own journey into jewelry making, adding a fresh perspective and creative energy to the family craft.
With three generations involved, New Mexico Stone Art is more than a business — it is a shared passion for the beauty and artistry found in natural stone. While Ken focuses on marketing, education, and sharing his knowledge with others, the entire family works together to bring you a carefully selected collection of gemstones and handmade creations.
As online shopping continues to connect artists and collectors across the country, we are proud to ship our stones and creations throughout the United States. Our inventory is always evolving, with new finds arriving regularly, including our own lapidary work and exceptional pieces from other talented stone artists.
We invite you to pour yourself a cup of coffee, take your time exploring our collection, and discover something special from New Mexico and beyond. Whether you are creating your next jewelry piece, adding to your collection, or simply appreciating the natural beauty of stone, we hope you find something that inspires your own creative journey.
Thank you for visiting New Mexico Stone Art — we are grateful to be part of your story.
