I specialize in minerals from the Middle Tennessee Zinc District — Elmwood, Stonewall, Gordonsville, and Cumberland — with a focus on documenting provenance and the geological stories behind each specimen. My work bridges field research, historical records, and direct collaboration with former mine geologists like Walt Gaylord and Fred Smith. Through Music City Minerals, I curate fine examples of fluorite, calcite, barite, and sphalerite that capture the character of each ore body — from the pastel zones of Stonewall to the classic Carthage corners of Elmwood. Each piece reflects a commitment to preserving the region’s mining legacy while showcasing the natural art that defines these world-class Tennessee specimens.
