 Posted: Sep 13, 2012 15:14 Post subject: The Collection of Trtlman |
|
|
Hello everyone, it has been a great pleasure being a part of this site and thought I might show some of my personal collection. Most of my collection are second hand finds from yard sale, expos and bazaars and very few I have found myself. The minerals I collect myself are always what is lying around in road cuts and in the mountains, the Cascades to be exact. I don't mine, nor do I purchase minerals from mines as I don't have the money to do so. Minerals I do purchase I rarely ever know the origin of and I will try to leave them out of this posing unless it's one of my better specimens. I am an amateur collector and my collection will reflect that but I hope you enjoy it, thank you and I will be adding more later on.

I love this piece because it's one I found myself and I don't get out often to find anything and when I do I don't ever find anything that is that great |

Welcome back to my ever slowly growing collection page, but slow as it may be it is getting more impressive. I also have more accurate measurements this time around too as I purchased a digital tape measure for my tablet, still not 100% accurate but more than the tape measure I was using before. Hopefully before long I will own a digital caliper to make my measurements even more accurate in the future.
