Andrew began collecting minerals at only three years old, digging for rocks in a cracked portion of his father's new black-top driveway. A $5 weekly allowance and a trip to a local rock shop solidified his journey in the industry.

 

Andrew knew he had a unique ability to recognize spectacular specimens, and appreciate their uniqueness. His primary focus is on world class Fluorites, and crystallized Gold specimens.​
