Pearl has rocks | in head, jewels in hand

by Valorie Lennox

The Review

Pearl is rock-struck.

“My husband told me I have
says the Saani-
chton woman, whose home is
scattered with pieces of rhodonite,
onyx, jasper, agate and jade.

Starting with chunks of shape-
less rock, Pearl Willis cuts, carves,
grinds and polishes to produce
gleaming stone-set jewelry.

“T’ve always been crazy about
rocks — the marvel of nature that
they can be so beautiful.”

But bringing out that beauty is a
long process. A piece of rough
thedonite, for example, looks like
a lump of coal when Pearl first
brings it home.

Only by piercing the outer layer
of rock is the delicate pink and
black-veined stone revealed.

“From the outside, unless
there’s a chip, you can’t even see
the color,” Pearl explains.

With rhodonite, often heavier
stones are better quality. Stull,
choosing which chunk of rock to
buy is a guessing game.

“You can’t always tell by the
outside of the stone.”

Fractures running through the
rock can also make an otherwise
beautiful piece of rock unusable.

But the fractures cannot even be
seen until the stone is sliced open,
an operation which requires a
large saw with a diamond grit
blade.

Pearl uses a 14-inch diameter

saw to cut rough rock into uniform

slices of stone.

“Tt isn’t like cutting wood.

Wood cuts much faster,”
remarked.

The saw blade drops into the
rock and grinds through. Pearl
