I have been collecting gems and minerals since 1976. Along with collecting, I have given numerous tours, over the years, to help other collectors, jewelers and rock hound enthusiasts get their start. I even was fortunate enough to be one of the first guides at Hot Springs Mammoth Site. Currently, I am moving in other directions, so it is time to share some wonderful collections with all of you. I hope you enjoy this site in the months to come.
