Natural Stone Vases with Semi-precious Gemstones by John Quinn

My design incorporates elements of stone masonry, mosaic and lapidary skills. It allows for and exploits the natural features and variations of stone and minerals. The result is always a unique item that reflects the character of the materials.

Natural stone is a great visual compliment to blooms and foliage and its weight supports the most ambitious of displays without risk of tipping over. The vases are watertight (don’t leak) and waterproof (are not damaged by getting wet). Durability is also excellent. While they are not completely unbreakable, they are considerably less fragile than a ceramic or glass vase and can usually be repaired if dropped and broken.
