Hey there, my name is Anastasia, but I typically go by Ana. I am the small business owner behind Fireweed Minerals. I am a geologist with 10 years of experience and over 20 years of experience with lapidary arts and mineral collection. Fireweed Minerals was created out of a love for natural gemstones and a frustration with the lack of transparency and ethics that are still common in parts of the gemstone industry. We buy stones as gifts, for our collections, a luxury that shouldn't come at others expense. 
All of the stones I work with are sourced within Canada through fellow prospectors, beachcombers, small-scale collectors, and occasionally through my own field collecting trips. Canada has an incredible variety of gemstones and lapidary material, and I love being able to share some of that beauty through my work.
