JUST RELEASED ON YOUTUBE — A TOUR INSIDE MY PRIVATE MINERAL COLLECTION!

JUST RELEASED ON YOUTUBE — A TOUR INSIDE MY PRIVATE MINERAL COLLECTION!

Really excited to share this one.

Will Jessup @wjessup_crystals and @earthwonders__ stopped by with Frank Zhu @fzminerals for an up-close tour of my private mineral collection—and we pulled out some absolute monsters.

From museum-grade Aquamarines and natural unheated Tanzanites to golden Heliodors, Streep Mine Amethyst, multicolored Tourmalines, legendary Illinois Fluorites, and plenty more… this video gives a deeper look inside the collection and at some of the specimens that fuel my obsession with nature’s art.

For me, collecting has always been about more than simply owning minerals. It’s the hunt, the history, the localities, and seeing what millions of years of pressure, chemistry, heat, and chance can create.

Thanks to Will Jessup and Frank Zhu for coming through, talking minerals, and capturing the collection.

The 19+ minute tour is LIVE NOW on Franks YouTube. Go check it out and let me know which specimen is your favorite!
