I am a Mineral Collector from Arizona and a current Geology student at Brigham Young University Idaho. My collection is focused on miniature and thumbnail specimens, with an emphasis on fine aesthetics, balance, and quality. I am particularly interested in specimens from classic and historically significant localities, and I place strong value on the provenance and legacy associated with each piece.

My collecting approach is guided by a preference for refined, well composed specimens that exemplify the best characteristics of their species and locality. I seek pieces that not only demonstrate mineralogical significance, but also possess a timeless aesthetic quality.
