About

My profession is Horticulture. I am a specialist and hybridizer of African Euphorbias and other xerophytes. I also lecture on the breakup of Pangea and the effects of continental drift on the evolution of plants. My passion and hobby is mineral collecting. I began collecting minerals at the age of nine. My collecting took a serious turn
some 30+ years ago when I met Chris Wright. Before his passing I had the wonderful experience of learning the ins and outs of mineral collecting from Chris. In addition to purchasing world class minerals from Chris, he directed me to purchasing minerals from old time European collections, especially Tsumeb stones from German collections.
Since then the majority of my purchases have been from European collections and from dealers in Africa, Europe and Asia. Enjoy the Journey.
Thank you for showing your interest in mineral collecting and specifically in the minerals I am offering. I feature Distinctive Stones for the Discerning Collector.

    The Best and most impressive seller on ebay so far. I had some delivery issue but the seller did his best to meet my demand and to solve the problem. The seller was friendly, considerate, reliable, wise, composed, communicative, and has great problem solving skill! The transaction was smooth and satisfactory. I am grateful that I was able to buy a very rare mineral with great quality at an affordable price. The item was packed nicely with great care, delivered quickly despite shipping issues

    Careful packaging and prompt shipping. Communication was thorough and timely. Although the number of items handled is not large, each mineral has an intriguing story behind it. This seller is one of the dealers I’m particularly keeping an eye on.
