Many of these photographs have been used in magazines and publications over the years and this is something I take great pride in. <P></p>The updates at Exceptional Minerals are many and often! They are comprised of mineral rooms catagorized according to their specific mineral show. Updates from the Tucson Mineral Show and Denver Mineral Show appear alongside updates from smaller shows or collections. I invite everyone to e-mail me at <b>kward(a)themineralgallery.com</b> and ask to be added to my e-mailing list for website updates. In the meantime, please visit the website and browse through the latest offerings of fine mineral specimens. You might find something for your own collection. </center></font></td></tr></table> <p></p> <font color="#60383b" size="4"> <b>Featured Item:</b> <a href="http://www.exceptionalminerals.com/denver2011-3.htm" target="self"> <u>Scheelite on Muscovite</u></a> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="10" width="90%"><tr> <td><a href="http://www.exceptionalminerals.com/denver2011-3.htm" target="self"> <img alt="Exceptional Minerals Featured Item" src="http://www.exceptionalminerals.com/Denver2011-35ScheeliteMt.XuebaodingChina60mm.jpg" border="0" width="300"></a></td> <td><font color="#60383b" size="4"> <p><b>Location:</b> Mt.

It is managed by me: Jordi Fabre (for your information Jordi is Catalan for George.) <p></p> I started in the mineral business over 30 years ago, sharing the work with my studies in Biology as well as with a other job: printer. In those very busy days I mainly sold quality Spanish, Portuguese, and Moroccan specimens.This was all done with the help of my brother Francesc, and it involved taking life as a pleasant game, full of nice trips and unusual situations as I followed the trails of the wild deals with the just as wild miners. <p></p>So, something that was started just as a hobby that I shared with my passion for trips has grown slowly until now, while still young, I have behind me a lot of deals, a lot of experiences, a lot of knowledge, and, best of all, a lot of friends. All together this has helped me to obtain more and better specimens from my classic sources as well as from other new sources, such as the private collections that I acquire as often as I can, or from new finds that I get from the people working for me in mines, thus trying to select "on the ground" the main novelties. Also I get from time to time some extremely unusual specimens due my good relationships with several significant Museums, the only practical source for some extremely scarce specimens. <p></p> As I have always had an interest in the more scientific aspects of Mineralogy I have also published articles in various journals and web sites. These include the Mineralogical Record (Fluorite and associated minerals from Asturias, Spain, Volume 23, pages 69-76 - Internet Mineral Sales, Volume 37, pages 199-201), Bocamina, Revista de Minerales and others. <p></p> In 1996 attracted by the Internet technology I started my own web site. It was really one of the first of the worldwide Internet dealer web sites aimed at selling mineral specimens on-line, and clearly the pioneer of the European Internet dealers. When I started it I just considered it to be a complement to my regular sales, but it grew more and more, becoming nowadays one of the more important sources of sales.</center></font> </td></tr></table> <table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="90%"><tr><td> <font color="#60383b" size="4"><center>So on the Web you will find our latest selection of quality collector specimens, all of which are for sale.

One must consider themselves fortunate to be able to deal with friends and associates in a hobby which brings such magnificent rewards. Mineral collecting is all encompassing: we read about it, dream about it, visit the museums and galleries, share our collections with friends and attend the numerous annual events which bring us all together in exotic locations. <p></p>When I hired David P. Wilber in late 1997, and gave him the contract to build a world class collection, little did I know the extraordinary levels of pleasure that this association with the " grand master of mineralogy" would bring to my life. I sat by his side as a willing and knowledge thirsty student, and Dave taught me the fine points of collection building that few would ever have the opportunity to learn. Impeccable taste, superb instincts and vast knowledge mark the attributes of this great man, to whom I will always be grateful. <p></p>So, with the launch of this new website, I hope to bring the seasoned collector, and those young ( or not so young) beginners in mineral collecting, the consummate knowledge and experience that my many years in the hobby has instilled in me. <p></p><a href="http://www.josephafreilichbookseller.com/" target="self"> <img src="http://www.josephafreilichbookseller.com/shop_image/vendor/logo.gif" border="0"></a> </center></font></td></tr></table> <p></p><font color="#60383b" size="4"> <b>Featured Item:</b> <a href="http://www.freilichminerals.com/?page=shop/browse&category_id=134" target="self"> <u>Euhedral Calcite on Amethyst</a> <table cellpadding="4" cellspacing="10" width="90%"><tr> <td><a href="http://www.freilichminerals.com/?page=shop/browse&category_id=134" target="self"> <img alt="Freilich Mineral Featured Item" src="http://www.freilichminerals.com/home/finalimages/715/9large.gif" border="0" width="350"> </a></td> <td><font color="#60383b" size="4"> <p><b>Location:</b> Irai, Brazil <p><b>Size:</b> 5 3/4 x 6.0 x 6 1/4 inches <p><b>Item #:</b> 715 <p><b>Comments:</b> 5 3/4 x 6.0 x 6 1/4 inches Calcite Measures 4 1/4 x 4 1/2 x 2 1/4 inches 3112.0 grams.

The specimen can be turned 180 degrees to display interesting views of the calcite adding to the character of this unique piece... The calcite is easily comparable, and may exceed the Russian calcites. A small patch of micro quartz crystals, like frosting, overs one face in the rear.

Our goal is to supply you with display quality mineral specimens that exhibit the qualities you expect for an unexpected value. We specialize in mid priced minerals from thumbnail to large cabinet sized. Our passion for finding exceptional pieces will be evident to you, and we welcome your feedback and hope you will join our mailing list for future updates. </b> <p>My philosophy is simple. I only purchase minerals for resale that I would buy for myself . This means they are aesthetic, in very good condition, and would present well in a display case. They must also have inherent value, meaning they are well enough bought to allow them to be sold at retail with some upside potential. I take pride in offering great value. <p>I have also established a service for selling off collections that has become quite popular. Instead of selling an old collection in bulk I accept the collections on consignment with guaranteed minimums and handle all of the photography, listings and auctioning as well as shipping and handling. The entire process is transparent. There is no risk to the seller and this approach allows the market to decide true value. For higher end material, I am extremely well networked with dealers who work exclusively with high end clientele, and facilitate the best possible returns by targeting known buyers of exclusive specimens.

His was an immense, one-man operation that he ran until 1991, shortly before his death at age 96. He traded, sold, collected, and sometimes gave away amazing amounts of rocks, crystals, and gems. He tumbled, polished, and sawed rocks, and made them into jewelry. He made over 1500 rock tables and shipped them all over the world. Some of his interests were geology, science, Einstein's theories, the age and origins of the universe, and the geologic forces that brought his rocks and fossils into existence. He was a patient teacher to young children, helping them with their rock collections and teaching them to use lapidary equipment. Thousands of people passed through his shop.
