Developed for jewelers and metalsmiths who believe that sourcing matters, the American Mined™ Collection offers faceted stones, beads, and cabochons ethically sourced in the United States by companies who share Rio Grande’s pledge to the planet. The result is a collection of high-quality gems with a clear, documentable path from the mine to your bench.
Every gemstone in the American Mined™ Collection has been chosen specifically for its quality, clarity, and presentation of color. And because Rio Grande gemologists travel to the very mines these stones originate from, jewelers and their customers can be confident that every stone is mined, cut, and processed under conditions that meet all standards for worker safety, environmental protection, and responsible production.
