Owned by Gary McWilliams,
Stone Arts of Alaska operates two stone yard/studio facilities.
Open from May to mid-October, our Craig, Alaska facility
serves as both our selling venue and the base of our Alaskan stone collecting efforts. Much
of our stone comes from remote islands in southeast Alaska and is
gathered by boat. We may be the world's only stone operation
that collects in such an unorthodox manner. Because of its
exceptional geology, southeast Alaska is especially rich in
multi-colored marbles and other exotic stones. We proudly find
and extract all our own stone, always collecting with utmost
sensitivity to the environment.
Open from
mid-October to May, our Bellingham, Washington facility serves as our
primary production center. We ship raw stone several times a year from Alaska, via container
and barge, to Bellingham, where we make items to be sold in Craig.
In Bellingham, too, we display our collection of natural sculpture -
stone carved by water and other tools of nature into wonderful and
suggestive shapes.
We also find and sell Alaskan crystals and lapidary
stone. Visitors welcome at both facilities.
