Vietnam is famous for its gem industry and in Central Vietnam close to Hoi An (one of Vietnam’s oldest cities and biggest tourist attractions) are the Marble mountains. This is a group of five marble and limestone mountains, named after the five elements of the ancient oriental philosophy: metal, wood, water, fire and earth.  Nestling at the foot of these mountains is Non Nuoc Village.  A village famous for stone sculptures and gemstones.  I visited these handcraft centres and watched the skilled craftspeople at work.   One of the “waste” products of this industry are tiny semi-precious gems stones that are sold off by the kilo!  The Mowyla Shell and Gem pendants presented on this page are made from these cast off bits of semi-precious stone.
