We are miners bringing you these specimens directly from the earth. We are natives of western and mid western states with historic mining, mineral and geological occurrences. I am a 7th generation prospector and miner from Arizona and my associate is 5th generation out of Missouri. Our family histories include living, prospecting and mining in and around the historic towns of Lamar, Missouri and Tombstone, Arizona when Wyatt Earp held power. We own numerous mining properties and mines that contain a wide assortment of minerals and mineral combinations. Charles Poston and Sam Colt held interests in several of the properties we are presently offering specimens from. We have researched mining districts throughout the western United States and Mexico in our continuing effort to identify both commercially viable and specimen deposits. With our combined knowledge and experience we enter the dangerous old historic mines to survey their potential for mineral occurrences and specimens. Please keep this in mind when you bid. We hope you will enjoy our minerals and believe you will find the pictures, descriptions and quality of our specimens accurate.
