You may think "I'm not a collector!", or are you? Some people collect antiques, glass, pottery, furniture, etc. You may not be this kind of collector but you do collect!!! Every day you make choices about jewelry, clothing, accents for your home or office, paintings for your walls and books you want to read. You make your choices because of your imagination, your sense of color and a certain artistic style that appeals only to you. All these choices express your artistic sensibilities. So, are you a collector? Maybe not of the usual collectibles but you are a collector of style. Your style!
Collecting minerals is a wonderful hobby you can share as a family. It's a terrific way to spend quality time with your kids, educate them in a non-traditional environment (they won't even realize they're learning anything) and a great way to get them from spending too much time on the computer or watching television. You can make a beautiful presentation by displaying your collection in a showcase in your family room making it a colorful addition to your décor. As you'll see from our website, there are many different ways to collect these materials. We enjoy collecting in all different forms, from minerals in their original form, to an artist's interpretation in a painting, to an artist crafting something functional or decorative which we enjoy displaying in our home.
