Following the sudden and amazing display of nature’s power that was the 1980 eruption of Mount St. Helens in the Pacific Northwest, something unexpected and beautiful was discovered. Brilliant creations were produced from the heated volcanic rock dust. Named “helenite” after the mountain from which it was born, its vivid colors and amazing story captured the attention of jewelry designers worldwide.
