I have been collecting since 1966 - starting at the ripe old age of six! I originally collected pyrites and Herkimer diamonds as I lived in Western New York until I was 13. Now, I collect old German and Italian specimens and rare faceted gemstones. You can see some pictures of my collection in my photo gallery. In addition to my collecting experience, I have a Graduate Gemologist degree from the GIA.
My philosophy is simple. I endeavor to offer quality specimens in all price ranges. I try to keep my prices as reasonable as possible. My descriptions, locality information, and photos are as accurate as I can make them. And I value customer service - I will try to answer all inquiries as quickly as possible, whether about my offerings or about mineral collecting and gemology in general.
Also joining me at shows are my sons Will and Joe. Right now, they are more interested in the business aspects of mineral collecting. I hope to turn them into collectors at some point!
