This page is about us ... The Magovern Family  I'm Florence, Charlie's business partner and spouse since 1982. I met him by chance on a chair lift in Vail, Colorado. Our 2 daughters, Alanna and Alison, are taking more interest in the family business. Alanna recently graduated from CU Boulder and is helping out in the prep lab (when she isn't snowboarding) and Alison, a student of graphic arts, is helping me update our website. In the early days of our business, the main focus was the lapidary trade from manufacturing to selling finished stones, hence the name: The Stone Company. Over the years, the scope of our interest has grown to a much broader category of natural history services. Today we offer traveling exhibits and natural history appraisals as well as fossil acquisition and preparation services. We remain a small family business offering our personal attention to every detail. Over the years, we have developed an extensive international network for acquiring natural history specimens as well as high quality reproductions. We have served jewelry shops, galleries, collectors and museums throughout the U.S. and abroad. National Geographic has a web story about Charlie's discovery of the dinosaur embryo "Baby Louie" that was pictured in the May 1996 issue of the magazine. You can click below to see it.
