GEMSTONES & GEOLOGY






































A good understanding of geology, persistence, & luck can lead to incredible treasures. In 1977, I started work as a research geologist at the Wyoming Geological Survey in Laramie. Next to nothing was known about gemstones in the state, but over the years, I tracked down many mineral deposits & found some of the largest gemstone deposits ever found on earth. Anyone can do it. 

My story is found in many publications and blogspots, the most recent available at Amazon, the Wyoming Geological Survey publications office and the University of Wyoming bookstore in Laramie, as well as at your local bookstore.
