I am a self described 'carbonate freak', focusing from 1988 to 2000 on all carbonates, and thereafter smithsonite and dolomite from Tsumeb exclusively. This is a great area of collection focus. Welcome aboard. This is a well managed forum, with lots of very knowledgeable and sharing enthusiasts, as you are discovering.

Welcome Kevin. At some point please read the 'General guide for using the Forum'. I spent a long time translating and creating that, so welcome any comments or thoughts - it might need a refresh.

Hi All-
My name is Phil Persson and I am a geologist and mineral collector/dealer living in Denver. While I am new to this forum I have enjoyed reading some of the commentary and discussion on here for a number of years and figured it was time to join.
My passion for minerals started as a child growing up both in Sweden and later quite close to Franklin and Sterling Hill New Jersey, where I found mentors in mineral collecting such as Dick Hauck, John Ciancuilli (now deceased) and others. I moved to Colorado in 2005 for college studies and obtained a bachelors degree in geology from the University of Colorado and more recently a masters degree in geology focusing on petrology and geochemistry from the Colorado School of Mines.
From ~2012 to August of 2017 I ran my own mineral business, Persson Rare Minerals, selling mainly online as well as doing numerous small shows in Colorado and the September Denver Show, as well as Tucson a few times. I tried to specialize in rare species as well as affordable, interesting minerals from "classic" localities.
Last September I started working full-time for Collectors Edge Minerals in Golden, Colorado where I assist with sales, marketing, and geology related to our specimen mining projects. It's been a lot of fun so far and certainly different than what I imagined I might be doing after I finished graduate school last May!
Anyways, nice to meet you all and glad to be part of this discussion board community.
