Hi my name is Paul, the owner of Blue Silver Mines. I'm based in Apache Junction Arizona where there are still a lota good old boys that are miners. Most all these men, including myself work hard every day at mining our properties. That way we can bring you the kind of rock you need. Believe me i'm not complaining about working hard. I love mining beautiful gem grade rock, then turning it into something useful, so people just like you can really enjoy it. I guess thats one of the big reasons I do what I do. In our lapidary shop we sometimes turn the gem grade rock into some very rare high guality jewelry, and then sell it at rock and gem shows, eBay, and Now ! this website. By the piece, by the pound, or, by the ton. No matter how you want to work it, Blue Silver
