SteampunkProspector

The Steampunk Prospector is Lauren Bell—welder, rockhound, and creator of steampunk art, raw crystal jewelry, and Appalachian mineral displays. From welded beasts to wire-wrapped gems, her work fuses fire and earth, strength and story. Every piece is hand-built and hand-dug, honoring both resilience and the land. Based in NC/SC, she’s forging a mobile life of art, adventure, and independence—one weld and wild stone at a time
