I have handled many calcites from India throughout my career, but this one is beyond special.

Something a video could never truly show is the luster. It is unlike any luster I’ve ever seen on a calcite from any locality. 🤯🤯😳

The crystal is also internally flawless. Even though it may not appear that way in the video, it most definitely is. The matrix creates an illusion, but when you hold it in your hand, it simply makes no sense.

I’ve handled many seven-figure gem crystals in my career, and this thing has something completely remarkable going on within it.

I’m blessed to be able to share this jewel. However, only holding it can truly show how special it is.

Eventually, my house on Granada Ave. will be complete in Tucson, and I plan on using it as a museum and a place to gather and mingle during the greatest gem show on Earth. I’m going to turn this estate into a place for education and a place to celebrate the joy of collecting.

I hope you all have a great weekend. Summer in Wisconsin is so beautiful.

If you are serious about collecting, please feel free to reach out about a visit. My schedule is insane, but if planned in advance, I can usually make a day available. 🥂😊🙏🏻🥂

My passion for rocks honestly keeps growing because of the people. Every collector, serious or not, has a story. A first piece. A moment that hooked them. Hearing those origin stories… that’s the fuel. ⛽️💯🙌

So anyways, walks into my room at the show while I’m in Tucson, and I can immediately tell this guy knows a thing or two about minerals. We start chatting about the usual, he sits down, and we just start chopping it up about rocks. He was my type of human… laid back, witty, and also knows a thing or two about cameras. And when Bruce talks about minerals, you see it. It’s not just about owning them. It’s about the hunt. He even joked about finding things before other collectors and dealers get to them. 😂 “gotta get them before they get them”!

A few days go by and I walked through the Main Show in Tucson and, little to my surprise, his collection was there. Unreal material. I ended up filming and highlighting two of my personal favorites from his case.

Moments like that remind me why I’m so deep in this world. It’s not just rocks… It’s the people! 💯

New one for Natural Creations!

Most people only see the end result… tonight I got a little more insight on the process!
This gorilla was carved by .dreher out of a single solid block of Russian obsidian and it took him 360 hours to finish.
🤯 🙌😱🥹

Stage 1 — the beginning block.
Stage 2 — the midpoint carve.
Stage 3 — the final reveal.
200 mm tall.
One solid piece.
Way to much fu***ng patience... 🙌
And even more skill!
This one hits different… and thank you Patrick for sharing these with all of us! 🙌🙌🙌

One of my favorite edits I’ve put together for .

I just love how this one came together. It’s always fun for me taking two versions of a song, mixing them, then building the edit around the sound. I feel way more connected when the vision starts with the music — and this one went a little deeper since I made my own mini remix for it.

It also makes it easy to love when the rock is absolutely insane. The way it fills the frame, the presence it has… it’s one of those pieces that sticks with you, and that’s why this edit stays near the top for me.

Plenty more coming on this page… BTS, remixes, my own rocks, and a lot more in the works.

Appreciate all of you and all the love. For real.

Andrés from gifted me this absolutely insane agate and I was honestly speechless.
The second it landed in my hands, I knew I had to shoot it… no plan, no pressure, just pure fun.

This is what the rock world is about to me.
Sharing. Creating. Getting hyped over a stone that makes you stop and smile.

Grateful for the people, the energy, and the moments like this that remind me why I love it. 🪨🔥

I love this Herk… something about the way that matrix pulls through… it just hits! And then the baby lil dude hanging out, I can’t get enough of this one!

Appreciate capturing this one to perfection! 🙌

Here’s a new one that I got from … all I can say is these guys know how to bring the good times. Haven’t laugh as much as I did hanging with Ty from and Andres… can’t wait to kick it with both of you again soon!
More content once I get this one in front of my camera. 🙌

To me, rocks mean so much more than where they’re from, how perfect they are, or what they’re worth.

I’m still somewhat new to this mineral world, but sometimes it feels like I’ve already lived here forever. I look at my little display case and remember why even a “cheap” rock can feel priceless and why I fell in love with this world in the first place.

I picked up this wulfenite a few years ago when I was just starting to collect. I was staying with James from in Houston, we ended up in his showroom to nerd out and look at some of his amazing rocks. Among all the incredible minerals, this glowing orange crystal instantly caught my eye simple, balanced, and just enough going on to keep me staring. 🧡

I told him I wanted it, and he said, “Just take it, pay me later.” 🤣🤣🤣 Months later in Tucson, I made sure I brought him the cash… he refused to take it. 🙄 …He said he was just happy that I loved it… That’s the real reason I love rocks. It’s not just about rarity or perfection, it’s about the people, the passion, and the shared joy of discovery. This wulfenite will forever remind me of what I love about the rock world. 🧡
