Zacchariah Zypp & Co. is a unique business born from history, passion, and artistry. At the heart of our story is the legendary lapis lazuli of Crested Butte, gem-quality stone once celebrated as some of the finest in the world. Long forgotten after the closure of the famed Blue Wrinkle Mine, these rare stones have been revived and returned to their rightful place in the mountains where their story began. What began as a fascination with geology and lore has become a mission to preserve and share this natural treasure in a way that honors its extraordinary legacy.
Today, Zacchariah Zypp & Co. stands as both a curator and a creative force, transforming these remarkable stones into works of beauty and meaning. We see ourselves not as owners, but as caretakers of a heritage that connects ancient history, local discovery, and modern craftsmanship. Every polished piece tells a story of place, resilience, and spirit, inviting you to experience a piece of Crested Butte’s hidden legacy, carried forward through artistry, authenticity, and timeless design.
