We gather our tumbleweeds from all around the Arizona desert as well as locations where they can become hazards on the road, and even farmers and ranchers have previously paid to have tumbleweeds removed from their land. We gather these tumbleweeds for free so that we can turn them into our very own unique artistic medium. Once gathered they are then cleaned, dyed and "fossilized" under pressure. This process creates our stunning Tumblestones and enables us to make our own exclusive brand of custom handmade gems and jewelry!
