I am a lifetime mineral collector with a fundamental understanding of the processes that form the magnificent minerals that mother earth has gifted to us. I collect calcites and am enamored by the plethora of forms and associations. To support my hobby, I began dealing on the internet and showing at local shows in Pennsylvania. I moved to Wilmington North Carolina in 2007 and now show at the Raleigh, Ashville, Dallas(NC) and Grassy Creek shows under Geokrazy Minerals (as well as on www.e-rocks.com year round). I absolutely love the thrill of the hunt, as I search for great deals on aesthetic specimens for re-sale. Mineral collectors are some of the nicest people on the planet, and I welcome anyone with an interest to visit my collection on their way to the beaches (20 minutes away).
