We mourn the passing of Tom Munsteiner of @ateliermunsteiner on December 28, 2023.

A man of true warmth, Tom was a visionary gem carver whose bold and innovative cutting styles made each piece unique and immediately recognizable as his work: eloquent, sculptural, precise. Artistry at the highest level. (GemGuide’s most recent cover features a Tom Munsteiner original).

Jutta Munsteiner, Tom’s wife, and Philipp Munsteiner, his son, will carry on the highly specialized work along with their team in Germany.

The family requests you visit their booth at GJX or the Tucson Fine Mineral Gallery during the gem shows in late January and early February to celebrate the life, passion, and gems of their beloved Tom.
