Local business owner Thomas Nagin has made a lifelong career of exploration, traveling to remote mining communities all around the world in his quest for the finest gems, crystals and minerals. Along the way, he encountered vibrant cultures producing a beautiful array of arts and crafts using time-honored traditions that have been passed down for generations.
Nagin, who has been supplying minerals to the trade since the mid-1970s, opened Crystal Springs Gallery in downtown Hot Springs in 2001. A showcase for all the treasures from his expeditions, the gallery features museum-quality displays of fine minerals, handcrafted gold and silver jewelry, and one-of-a-kind gifts from around the world.
Visitors to the gallery will discover colorful tapestries from Israel and Africa, luxuriously soft alpaca scarves from Peru, leather bags from Colombia, and brightly painted, whimsical folk-art sculptures from Mexico.
The gallery also boasts a large selection of decorative onyx lamps which make the season extra cozy and bright. Manufactured in Mexico using the latest cutting-edge technology, they bring warmth and beauty to any space.
