Whenever there rises the need for a gift, many of us start thinking of the best present. However, our usual actions are limited to “by something in a corner shop” or “do something yourself”. If you want to really stand out from the crowd and make a memorable gift that will last for years never losing in price, how about a unique wood fountain pen?

The decent majority of experienced pen collectors, passionate amateur lovers of fine writing instruments
and all other “in-the-know” can easily draw a solid distinguishing
line between professionally manufactured, mass-produces, mechanically engraved
and encrusted writing instruments, and hand-crafted wood fountain pens. The
latter items are pure gems in the eyes of connoisseurs treasuring the delicate
uniqueness of each of the crafted pens.

The state of Nevada has many old mines, which once produced beautiful turquoise gems. Unfortunately, few of them are being worked today, in spite of the new resurgence of the popularity of turquoise. For many years, the US had a historical tradition of small-scale mining, and individuals or small groups of miners would spend part of the year working the higher-grade sections of old mines and ship the high-grade ore to be processed at smelters or other facilities. Those individual prospectors that made a valuable find could make a decent living off their claims - or at least a nice supplement their other income. In the 1940s and 1950s, that tradition began to die out and only a few hardy souls remain that work their claims on a small scale and make a living off them.
