Please let me introduce myself and tell you
some things about my
business. My name is W. Scott Forrest. I have been faceting
for 20 years and opened my jewelry store in 1993. Before
opening my store I faceted stones for my
father, Bill, and his partner, Buzz Gray. They owned the "Benitoite Gem
Mine"
for about 35 years. Also for other dealers where I
learned how to handle different types of gems. I started
purchasing rough and began to sell my own finished goods. After a few
years I reopened a
closing jewelry store and called it "W. Scott Forrest Gemstones"
It is a
small store but has a great location. It is located right in the
heart of Old Town Clovis, an area very similar to Old Town
Sacramento -- without the river. Clovis is on the Northeast side
of Fresno, almost the center of California.
I update my site featuring the new stones
and jewelry pieces under the heading "Fresh off the Dop".
Please
bookmark my site so you can check back frequently! Thank you for
taking the time to look.
Hope to hear from
you soon.
The
downtown historic sign over Clovis Avenue is right in front of my
store.

It was a gorgeous day and we all had fun. I was lucky and found a few
stones. I will etch them and post them when they are
finished.
Next field trip will be to a Sunstone Mine in Oregon. Not positive of
the dates yet, but around May2/3/4.
If you are interested in going give me a call.
