About Us

A Journey Written in Stone

Our story began over 40 years ago — not in a storefront, but under the open sky of the Sahara Desert, in the mountains of Sinai, and along the shores of the Red Sea. What started as a childhood fascination with rocks and fossils grew into a lifelong journey of exploration, discovery, and collecting. Throughout the 1980s and beyond, our passion led us across the globe. We have collected gemstones, minerals, meteorites, and fossils with our own hands from:
  • The Atlas Mountains of Morocco
  • The forests and savannahs of Tanzania
  • The slopes of Mount Kilimanjaro
  • The deserts of the Gobi and Tibetan highlands
  • The plains of the United States
  • The Andes Mountains of Argentina, Peru, and Brazil
  • The caves of Mexico
For decades, each piece told a story — a story of geology, history, and the timeless beauty of the natural world. What began as a hobby became a calling. Today, that legacy continues at Gem Royale in historic Ellicott City, Maryland, and through our online platform Kingdom of Gemstones. We share not just stones, but the knowledge, adventure, and authenticity behind them.

Our Mission

  • To connect people with the wonders of the Earth
  • To honor the history and energy of natural stones
  • To make collecting accessible, transparent, and exciting for all
Whether you're a passionate collector or a curious beginner, welcome. This is more than a store — it's a continuation of a journey that began forty years ago. A journey still being written, one stone at a time.
