ROCKHOUNDING THE INTERNET?
Then Welcome to....
TIGEROWNER MINERALS
This website presents photos of a small fraction of the mineral specimens currently available for sale from the large collection I've amassed over the past 57 years; there is also a fair amount of information to help the beginner get started in the hobby. The site specialties (and mine, of course) are museum-quality Elmwood specimens and top-quality fluorescents from many famous worldwide locations. Currently, specimens are offered for sale on this website and sporadically on eBay; you can view any current "tigerowner" mineral auctions by going to my Tigerowner eBay sales ("tigerowner" is my eBay handle). Purchases from both sales venues can be combined to save on shipping costs, and I have a free shipping offer which applies to all multiple specimen purchases from this website, as well as multiple 'buy-it-now' purchases from eBay.
Just getting started in the hobby? I have several pages of information for folks just getting started in the fluorescent minerals hobby (see "Links and Tech. info" above). I prepared this material myself, and have researched it carefully, but I hereby apologize in advance for any errors or omissions. Just because you see something in print doesn't mean you should assume it's flawless! Also, some of the information presented is just opinion (mine), not fact, and you should treat it as such....
Please use my email below to inquire about any specimens in the photo galleries, or about particular specimen types you're seeking (they may be in my basement!). Purchases (and extra pics, if available) may also be arranged via email. Thanks for visiting my site!
