Jonathan Stone, as seems appropriate, loves rocks and minerals.
 

His work is the product of a life-long fascination with rocks,
minerals and fossils coupled with a need to encourage
an interest in and appreciation of our planet, itself.

Jonathan’s experienced eye and use of

macro photography create new perspective,

revealing hidden details and fractal landscapes.

​

Minerals and their geology informed the

evolution of our primal aesthetic principles.

Endless variations on color and geometry,
formed in the dark as innately fascinating,

intent-less expressions of the earth.

​

Created without human input, it is art nonetheless.
Ours for the inspiration and interpretation, free from
the responsibility of their initial creation.

​

Specimens both rare and attainable shine in
a new, fascinating light that fosters a deeper
connection to the earth and its natural processes.
Presentation on contemporary metal prints allow
for the play of light across stones, traditional

framed prints dovetail with any decor.

​

“I hope my work creates the first spark that
inspires a lifetime of interest in, exploration of and
dedication to our planet.” - Jonathan Stone

I was thrilled to learn that my photographs
