#82382, Vesuvianite, Bellecombe,
Châtillon, Italy (t) $55
I have transitioned to Maine for the summer.
I brought all of my inventory and will be posting from Norway, Maine, in
the heart of the Maine gem pegmatite field. I can see the Harvard Quarry
from our dock -- this is the first quarry I collected at back in 1968.
All shipping will be sent from here. Shipping from Maine may result in an
extra day or two in transit. But if past years are any guide, you will probably
not notice.
One positive aspect about operating from Maine: you can stop in to see me
(and my minerals) if you a visiting Maine for vacation. Feel free to email
to set up an appointment.

Customer Feedback:
"I originally stumbled upon your page trying to figure out A decent way to
DIY a gemstones Specific Gravity. I read your CRAZY SUPER SIMPLE 5 step
instructions using a scale and cup of water....I thought to myself.... "DUH".
Seriously though. I can't believe I hadn't thought about that. Then I noticed
at the top of the page you had a INCREDIBLY TINY "home" link... So I clicked
on it. You should really make that larger... For real. I am so so glad I
saw that tiny HOME link. Anyways...I know we're all busy. Just wanted to
tell you... Well... THANK YOU! YOUR ENTIRE SITE IS AMAZING! you keep things
easy and real without making it confusing. I can SO appreciate that." Lori

stop looking at everything. Thanks John for putting it together." T. Valenti
"Hi John, I received the fluorites today! I just wanted to reach out and
thank you sooo much for amazing service, quality and price. I was blown away
at the Elmwood specimen! Absolutely rich in color and condition is 100! The
size of Minerva fluorite is amazing, the condition, color, zoning (which
surprised me when backlit) is so nice!! I'm so please to add these to my
collection! Thank you so much John!" Jon W.
