In 1990, Ron and his wife Cindy established Mainestone Jewelry as a home based business and developed a demand for his creations through word of mouth. In 1998, due to increased demand for his designs, they opened a retail store on Front Street in downtown Farmington, Maine. During the next six years the business grew, and in 2004 they moved to a larger store at their current location on Broadway.

Our commitment to our customers and their needs has stayed the same as when we started out; to present the highest quality of creative jewelry set with Maine Tourmaline and other gemstones, provide our customers with honest and exceptional service, and to treat everyone who walks in our door not as a customer but as one of our friends. 

Mainestone offers a variety of gifts such as amethyst or selenite candleholders, deer antler cribbage boards, and Maine Tourmaline paperweights. Specimens, minerals, and fossils from Maine and around the world delight both adults and kids. We welcome students from the grade schools and University of Maine at Farmington (UMF), who want to add to their mineral collection or enlist our help with school projects, sharing with them the unique geology of Maine and its abundance of minerals, gems, and fossils.
