How we found it is yet another story in itself.

This is yet another stone that was given to us by one of the workers involved in building the temple. It is a leftover piece from the original construction of the temple.

This stone was given to us by an expatriate living in Taiwan during the renovation of the temple. It is a scrap piece of stone that was left over from the construction work and was given to him by one of the workers.

This beautiful stone was quarried from Italy and shipped to Taylorsville for use on the actual building of the temple. Our piece, a scrap piece from the building construction, was given to us by a friend who worked on the construction.

We love that we were finally able to find stone from this temple. A friend of the shop served a mission there and we hoped to one day find stone from her mission. One of our construction friends had some of this stone in storage that he had collected while working on the construction of the temple. We are grateful he shared it with us so that others could enjoy it as well. It is scrap leftover from the building itself.

Temple stones from the LDS Tucson Temple by Nauvoo Remembered jewelry

I was baptized in Tucson Arizona and my son and daughter-in-law both served missions there so this stone was very important for me to find. The stone we found was a piece of the white granite that was used in the Celestial room and was one of several chunks of stone saved from the construction of the temple.

Temple stones from the LDS Twin Falls Temple by Nauvoo Remembered jewelry

This is the second stone we have used from the Twin Falls Idaho temple. Given to us by friends who had several pieces from when they lived near the construction site of the temple, it is also one of our more beautiful stones. We love having it in the shop.

Temple stones from the LDS Vernal Temple by Nauvoo Remembered jewelry

Another brick temple, the stone we use for the Vernal temple is the limestone accents from the outside. The stone is indiginous to the area and was cut from one of the local bluffs. The workers would cut out the blocks of limestone and roll them down the hill to waiting workers. If it did not break on the trip down, they took it to the building site. If it did break, they left it behind. Our stone is one of the ones that did not make the roll down the bluff.

The Washington DC temple stone is one of our favorites. Our stone is from pieces that were once a part of the temple and were removed during the recent renovations. We are very grateful to the temple workers who helped us find and restock this beautiful stone.

We search far and long for this stone until we found it at a show in Meridian Idaho. Another stone from a missionaries collection. He had it beautifully framed and we felt bad removing it but he really wanted us to have it so that others could enjoy it as well.
