In 1987 Georges opened his own workshop and showroom in Tulear, south of Madagascar. With the launch of the ''[http://www.igm.mg Institute of Gemology of Madagascar] (IGM)'' in 2003, he took a 3-month course and deepened his already broad knowledge of gems and minerals. In 2008 Georges won the first price for the best cut stone out of 200 participants.
Since 2009, he is specialised in concave cutting, a new cutting method which only five cutters in the entire Madagascar are capable of. Besides that, Gerorges creates theme carved stone facetes, such as [[zebu]], scorpion or flowers. He works with an armpiece on 2 two machines, one of which he designed himself.

Due to difficult business opportunities in [[Tulear]], Georges moved into the small house of his son in Tana in 2010. He is currently working on setting up his own workshop including a shopboutique. In the future Georges wants to cut stones on demand and sell them directly in his shop, maybe even export them. Additionally, customers interested in high quality rough stones can use his service services in identifying and purchasing these small treasuresand having them custom cut into finished gem stones during their stay in Madagascar.
