Hi guys, just wanted to introduce myself to all you. My name is Nick and I've been collecting since a pretty young age. My dad collected when he was younger and still had a box of cabs. That's what got me (and him) into it. My dad had a neighbor that was an avid rockhound. He went all around the U.S. (mainly OR). And my dad remembered some spots he showed him up in Oregon. I've now been up to Oregon many times now to rockhound. Most recently was Hart Mountain. Like my dad, I love the scenic jaspers especially with orbs. We mainly have the Big 5 in our collection (morrisonite, Willow, Royal, blue mt, and bruneau). However we do have a good amount of the rarer stuff as well. The only agate that I really like to collect is Laguna. I also collect opals too (Australian, african, Spencer, etc.). Me and my dad also love to restore old lapidary machines. It's kind of a side job for us haha... Anyways hope you enjoyed getting to know me a little better. Thanks!
