Frequently asked questions

Did you personally collect all of the specimens you sell in your shop?

I have hand-collected many of the specimens I sell. I might sell a specimen I have previously purchased in the case it no longer fits in my own collection or I bought or traded a flat of specimens. I try to be clear in the item descriptions about whether I've found it or not.

What is a professor doing selling rocks and minerals on Etsy?

The truth is that I have many rocks and minerals, and find it terribly difficult to discard or even to give them away if I can't be certain they will be appreciated. The idea of selling came to me as a way to find my rocks and minerals new homes where they will be appreciated. It has been more fun than I imagined, and my partner is thrilled that I’m (slowly) reducing the rock hoard!
