November 16, 2024. New Arrivals Page 4 has been updated with a suite of mixed world wide minerals. Also included in this update are several veszelyite specimens from China. Usually these are relatively expensive, I was able to acquire several pieces at more reasonable prices. These are from miniatures to cabinet sizes, with bright blue mostly small crystals coating the matrix, which has been reported as hemimorphite, although it is hard to tell on these pieces.

November 10, 2024 New Arrivals Page 3 is a mix of worldwide pieces as well as a few self collected specimens, and some stock that has been overlooked and needed to be photographed and added to the site. A new find of pyromorphite from China is included...interesting and quite different from the pyromorphite from the Daoping mine. What I know about the find is described with the specimens description.

October 29, 2024. New Arrivals Page 2 Has been updated with a suite of mixed world wide minerals. Mostly somewhat older pieces.

October 1, 2024. New Arrivals Page 1, has been updated with an assortment of mixed world wide minerals. Featured is a very fine cabinet specimen of Bolivian stibnite, and a cabinet size Pyrite pseudo marcasite from the Nanisivick mine in Canada.

I'm reserving it for photos from my collection, photos of interesting field trips and finds, and the like. More of an information/fun page.

December 2000
We are a mineral dealership located in Reno, Nevada. We are ardent field collectors and have been dealing in and collecting minerals for many years.

I have been a mineral collector since I was taken underground at the Clayton Silver mine in Idaho at the ripe old age of 9, by my grandfather, who worked there as a foreman. My first look at the mine's working face of solid sparkling galena had me hooked on minerals from that moment on. Since then I went on to get my Masters' degree in Geology with a focus on economics and mineralogy. My favorite mineral is pyromorphite. I'm always on the lookout for pyromorphite specimens. I am particularly interested in Canadian specimens.
