Then Welcome to....

TIGEROWNER MINERALS

This website presents photo galleries of a very small fraction of the mineral specimens available for sale from the large collection I've amassed over the past 55 years.  I will be re-vamping this site on an ongoing basis to reflect handling many future sales through my eBay store and auctions.  Currently, specimens are offered for sale on this website and on eBay;   I invite you to check out my eBay store, where I  will offer large cabinet specimens (both fluorescent and non-fluorescent); you can also view any current "tigerowner" mineral auctions by following that link ("tigerowner" is my eBay handle). 

HELP!  I am trying to figure out the best way to present these specimens, and so am experimenting with a new format, on the Elmwood specimens page.  If you get a chance, please take a look, and let me know whether you prefer the old format (any other page) or the new (the Elmwood page); then just click on the email link below and let me know your preference - I'll appreciate the input!

Just getting started in the hobby?  I have recently added several pages of information for folks just getting started in the fluorescent minerals hobby  (see "Links and Tech. info" above).   I wrote all 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!
