We take great pride in being active field collectors of New York State mineral specimens.  In fact, this is probably the most enjoyable part of our year....when the weather is nice enough we spend our time in the field hunting for crystallized minerals.  The majority of our specimens in all of these categories are self collected or from old collections.  For many collectors of fine mineral specimens the term "Self Collected" means "Junk".  That will not be the case with our materials.  Many classics to be found here........

I believe we have the best selection and variety in Herkimer diamonds on the internet...or for that matter, anywhere.  If you do not see what you are looking for contact me.  If it exists we probably have it.  We have tens of thousands in stock that have accumulated from many years of collecting.
