GEMSTONES


TURQUOISE jon ber
 Native American as well as indigenous Asian tribes, consider the stone as highly spiritual & it is regularly used in religious and cultural ceremonies across the world. 


Cherokee Chief Walking Eagle, John to his friend, told me once “If you’ll cheat me I’ll have to scalp you.” He was joking. 


Once when I passed by and asked to see him, his wife said that “John went to buy milk some six month ago and haven’t returned yet.” She wasn’t joking but seem in good spirit about it.


Ascribed Mystical qualities and its popular colors, made Turquoise the most costly of all none transparent gemstones. 
Its been used in the creations of jewelry and ornaments for as long as 8000 years. 

From Green to Blue, with black unique signature inclusions vanes running untamed, the gemstone universal reverence is phenomenal. 

Turquoise was named after the country of Turkey, when 17th century traders on the Silk Road to China, introduced the gemstone to the western world via the Grand Bazaar of Istanbul. 


Still Grand indeed. Traders world wonder. With 4000 shops in a magnificent casbah and merchandise from everywhere around the clock. 



Tibetan merchants still carry Turquoise in its original state of rocks, on their back and head, from the "roof of the world" the Himalayan mountains to the country's capital Lhasa. 



From there, Chinese traders bring the gemstone to Hong Kong where it is sold by the kilo to buyers from all continents.

About me
Open window in the last years of the second millennium provided opportunity to cross borders between continents and countries like never before. Proprietors of privileged passport, of the sort I have just been granted with, were welcome everywhere.

 
”A gem of a singer/songwriter has come to us in the form of Jon Ber.  His work puts us in mind of such greats as Leonard Cohen or Nick Drake. Simple tools, words and strings. Nothing at all simple in using them to their utmost."  starlightstudios.net
