After working with the Travel Channel on the Himalaya mine show I have been paying more interest to the website, and after receiving an e-mail from Mr Kwin Mosby I thought maybe this is the site that I can try to create more interest in my hobby as a rock-hound. Not just a treasure hunter.

My hobbies are all related to rock hounding First I love to go out and get down in the dirt and search for great mineral specimen's (precious an semi precious) Tourmaline being my favorite. there is something very spiritual about digging into a pegmatite and coming out with something that formed 100 million years ago and being the first to touch and see a true creation of mother earth.
Other than digging I love to teach the arts of lapidary (stone cutting cabochons and faceting and silver fabrication) as I do not do this professionally my pay is usually a thank you or a hug. (WORKS FOR ME)
