Quick Reference for Mineral Species, Formula, Class, and Type Locality List of Water Soluble Mineral Species Mineral List Available Upon Request Contact	News and Comments In about three weeks I will be participating in the East Coast Gem and Mineral Show). This is the largest mineral show in the eastern USA with all of the top dealers. Plus there are free lectures and large display area where they exhibit the best minerals from the best private collections. The show is an excellent opportunity to see in person many of the minerals that you see on the Internet. If you live within a 3 hour drive of the show, it is well worth the time to attend the show. And the show is BIG, so you might consider staying overnight so that you have plenty of time to visit the 150 mineral dealers. My booth (#58) at the show is big, but I cannot display all of my inventory at the show. If you are on the fence about one of my minerals, and want to see it in person, please take the time to email me now (jhbnyc@aol.com) to request that I bring it. Do not assume the item you are interested in will automatically be included at the show. I can only display about half of my inventory. And I only exhibit 10% of my diamond crystals. And, even if you do not want to see a specific mineral, please stop by my booth and say hello. I always like meeting collectors in person. John H.

Customer Comments: "I recently bought five items and they were very pretty, came just as photographed, and shipped super quickly. Thanks John!!! I like that everything you offer is real. I don't like treatments, fake colorings. Nice specimens. Will cont. to buy here." T. Lamb "I think it’s your combination of photographic artistic background and mineral knowledge that cause me to like the things you offer far more than anyone else I see offering minerals. I’d guess that 95+% of my mineral money goes to you, and mainly because of aesthetics, quality, and honesty. That last one is what caused me to be interested in you in the first place. It was so refreshing to have someone tell me about any flaws, the actual size of the largest crystal (have to guess for almost everyone else), etc. I said (and still say) “there’s a man who is doing his best to make sure I know what I’m buying – how refreshing." Don R. "The Samarskite-(Y) specimen arrived in good shape today. You did an outstanding job of packing it. I surely wish others would be as careful as you are. That and the high quality for reasonable cost are why you are still in business, though." Bob M. "I spent a couple of evenings searching for these gifts and you have, far and away, the most professionally presented, easy to use web site." Gerard  M. See more comments...
