These amazing natural wonders come from a remote region of Indonesia. The heat and fluids which feed hot springs are driven by subsurface volcanic activity. These types of systems are long lived and last from tens of thousands to upwards of millions of years. Recurrent magmatic pulses take place at depth, old conduits reopen and old hot springs regenerate at surface. Chemistry of upwelling fluids may change as they mix with ground water. The water table may change with the climate. Fluids may precipitate their dissolved iron, manganese or other materials along with silica. When an old hot spring gains new life, old cracks, veins and fissures below become conduits for new fluids. These fluids may deposit iron and silica and later seal the old cracks as the system cools down and dies again. These late crack fillings stained by the residual iron or other elements contrast with the older parent agate exhibiting a criss-cross pattern (pull-apart). Hot spring deposits and their feeder systems can be later exposed at surface by uplift and erosion. The pebble size agates we find in modern day stream beds with red (iron) stained silica cemented (sealed) desiccation cracks are actually the fossil remains of ancient hot spring systems. The different color agate which fills the healed cracks are just evidence of different mineral saturation in the late stage fluids pulsing the mature hot spring system. Local villagers collect the small agate pebbles from river drainages and ancient gravel terraces. Over the course of a year thousands of agates are gathered, but only 1% reveal the natural cross, and only about 70% of those are successfully ground and polished into finished stones. The villagers work most of these stones without the benefit of electricity! Even with state of the art equipment, cutting the crosses would remain challenging. The natural cross pattern is sealed just under the skin of the agate which must be shaped with extreme caution to reveal the cross. Great care must be taken by the stone cutters to avoid grinding through the thin colored layer that forms the cross itself, and many potential gemstones are lost in the process. No more than 250 finished stones are carried out of the jungle each year by one entrepreneur, a former mining engineer from Oregon (Joel Ivey). Of those stones, Jan Daggett has the good fortune to hand pick from his collection for the finest of these rare gems!

14kt Rubellite Tourmaline (1.26ct) & Diamond (.18ct) Ring set in yellow gold. Designed by Jan Daggett. Size 7.
Rubellite tourmaline glows with a rich, raspberry-to-deep-pink hue that rivals the finest rubies while offering its own unique sparkle. This rare variety of tourmaline is prized for strong saturation, excellent clarity, and vivid color zoning that can range from pure pink to crimson with subtle violet overtones. Known for its durability (7–7.5 on the Mohs scale) and lively pleochroism—showing different colors from different angles—rubellite makes striking center stones for rings, pendants, and collector’s pieces. Fine specimens command attention in both jewelry and mineral collections, prized for their combination of color intensity and gemstone versatility.

18kt gold ring featuring an oval Ceylon sapphire (1.67ct) with accent diamonds (.12ctw). Designed by Jan Daggett. Ring size 6.75. Contact us for sizing options.
Ceylon sapphire — prized for its light to medium cornflower-blue hues and exceptional clarity — comes from the storied gem-bearing soils of Sri Lanka. Renowned for a lively, velvety brilliance and a slightly lighter, brighter blue than many heat-treated sapphires, Ceylon stones often display a soft, silken luster that flatters both vintage and contemporary settings. Collectors value them for their balance of vivid color and transparency, making them ideal for rings, pendants, and museum-quality pieces.
14kt yellow gold ring featuring a pear shaped tsavorite garnet (.71ct) with accent diamonds (.14ctw). Designed by Jan Daggett. Ring size 7.
Tsavorite garnet — a vivid, verdant gem prized for its lively green hue and exceptional brilliance. Discovered in East Africa in the 1960s and named for the Tsavo National Park, tsavorite ranges from light, spring-green to intense emerald tones and often rivals emeralds in color while offering greater durability and clarity. Its high refractive index gives tsavorite a lively sparkle, and clean stones with strong color are relatively rare, making them highly sought after. Ideal for rings, pendants, and statement pieces, tsavorite pairs beautifully with both warm and cool metals and complements a variety of gemstone color palettes. For collectors and jewelry lovers who appreciate vibrant, natural color and enduring wearability, tsavorite is a radiant, distinctive choice.
