About Us

Hello and thank you for visiting our site! As a father and son rock hounding team from New England, we spend our spring, summer and fall traveling around the northeast collecting rocks and minerals. Over the 15+ years we have been hounding, we have collected hundreds of tons of material. The majority of the specimens we collect stay in their natural form. We focus on collecting rough material that displays well, and rough material that can be lapped or cabbed later on. We collect stones and minerals of nearly any size. From micro specimens to large yard rocks, if it fits in the truck bed, we typically find a way to get it home.
What started as a hobby has become an obsession. We have our collection in our display cases, and placed around our properties to display and store. As a team, we have collected more specimens than we can display on our own which has allowed us to offer our collections up for sale at mineral shows and displayed in local shops.
We primarily carry and sell our own self collected material, but we also stock some different material from around the country and around the world that we have purchased from fellow collectors. We love having material from different locations that we haven’t yet had the chance to explore, or that are now closed down to collecting.
Together we have 38 years of experience digging and breaking rock as we have been collecting. We have tens of thousands of hours spent out in the woods or down in the pits collecting. Everything we collect is found using hand tools, short of one weekend each year for the last 4 years where we have permission to use electric drills and saws. Though the physical demand is high, it is well worth it when you unearth specimens that have been laying in wait.
