Hi!

My name is Barry Mixon.

I am a Gemmological Storyteller. My life’s mission is to use the Art, Science, History and Magic of Gemstones and Precious Metals as an “Inception Point”; in order to help people Discover the “Value” of their own Stories.

My name is Barry B. Mixon and I am a Gemmological Storyteller. Now I am sure that many of you have no idea what that is or what doea a gemmological storyteller does.
