The Evans Family Fossickers

The Evans Family Fossickers, a family of four, have been immersed in the world of gemstones for generations. Steve's parents, pioneers in fossicking since the early 60s, have laid the foundation for our deep-rooted connection to these natural wonders.

The Evans family's commitment to preserving history and protecting the heritage of miners' camps on what is now the Tomahawk Creek public Fossicking Area speaks volumes about our love for the land and its treasures. Having lived and worked in the Queensland gemfields, our ties to the region run deep, and it is in these lands that we find ourselves continuously drawn, seeking the next stunning discovery.

At Evolution Gemstones, we are more than just a business;

We are a family united by a shared passion for fossicking and precious gemstones.

Fossicking is not merely a hobby for us

it runs in our blood. Steve's parents, with his father's cutting expertise and his mother's qualifications as a registered Gemmologist and valuer, have instilled an unparalleled appreciation and understanding of gemstones.

As Steve introduced Liz to the world of precious gems, the passion for fossicking flourished within their hearts. Their two children, Amelia and Henry, have now become part of the legacy, embracing the enchantment of these hidden treasures. The thrill of unearthing gemstones that have been concealed in darkness for millions of years is an experience that never loses its magic. Each gem holds its unique personality, and being the first to see and hold them is an honor we cherish.

It is our pleasure to hand over these precious gems to their new owners

Sharing these exquisite finds with people all around the world fills us with joy. It is our pleasure to hand over these precious gems to their new owners, listening to their design plans, witnessing the transformation into stunning adornments, and realizing that our discovery has sparked a new chapter in their stories.

At Evolution Gemstones, we invite you to embark on a journey with us. Discover the allure of nature's creations, forged over millions of years, and be part of the magical moments when these treasures are revealed to the world. Join us in our 

quest to unearth, appreciate, and celebrate the breathtaking beauty of gemstones. Let our family share the joy and happiness that comes with each gemstone we find, as it finds its way into your life, carrying forward a story that is destined to evolve and enchant for generations to come.
