My name is Jonathan Mukuwapasi. I was born in Zimbabwe in 1990. My father now the late Charles Mukuwapasi was my mentor for Gemstone cutting and polishing.

At the age of 6,  after coming back home from school, my father who was a geologist, would teach me how the skill of gemstone polishing . I would go with him to meet his customers around the country, and with a lot of traveling l soon began to understand and to gain experience in the Gemstone Field.

Most of the sitings where l retrieve my stones from are areas located within Zimbabwe, such as Beitbridge, Gokwe, Mutoko ,Kadoma ,Kwekwe, Domboshava, Nyanga, Mount Darwin, Karoi, Marondera, Great Dyke, Mapinga,  Mutorashanga, Nyamapanda, Tsholotsho, Binga, Mozambique tete province and Nyatsato,
