LIBRARY NEWS:

Our research library is quite thorough and includes a wealth of information on gem cutting techniques, mineral and fossil identification, and collecting location information. There are lots of magazines, but no full runs unfortunately. Here is a partial list of magazines: Lapidary Journal, Rocks and Minerals, Rock and Gem, Mineral News, and the Mineralogical Record. If you want to use this great research material, please contact me and set up a time to come by. We accept book, map, or video donations that would fill gaps in our library.
