Welcome to our mineral store on the World Wide Web!
As for me, I have been a mineral collector for over 20 years. I am located in the USA, in Southern California. I am an absolute fanatic of fine mineral and crystal specimens, hence this site is appropriately named Mineral Maniacs!

New galleries are coming soon!!!
What's New...
Tuesday November 25, 2003 - Migrated to a new webhosting company.
Monday January 6, 2003 - After much delay, new minerals have finally been added to the site!
I apologize for the long delay and consequently have lowered prices across the board!
The Afghan/Pakistan Galleries feature an array of gems and oddities such as Scapolites from a find in late 2001.
Monday January 6, 2003 - Added several new dealer links. See them here.
Sunday January 5, 2003 - Tested and repaired all links.
Wednesday June 19, 2002 - I finally finished and posted a gallery of photos from the Tucson Show back in February.
This is a HUGE page with lots of pictures! This means that IT WILL TAKE A WHILE TO LOAD. Maybe as long as 8 - 10 minutes if you are connecting via a 56k modem.
The page will open in a new window and I think that you will enjoy it in spite of the wait!
Here's the link- Pictures from the 2002 Tucson Show
Tuesday May 5, 2002 - Added two new links. Go to the links page and scroll down to 'Other' to check them out.
