A work in progress…

It will take me some time to gather my thoughts on how best to assemble this site to the benefit of all its intended viewers. Whether you are a broker or collector, the goal of this site is to focus on our commonality, and in turn further advance our knowledge and appreciation for our passion. My initial plans are to broadly cover the basics of a different mineral every week, and its applications to the gemological realm. I am considering structuring this on a thread based setup, in which each mineral will have perpetual updates. This will serve as an informative foundation upon which to further build the rest of the site. Of course updates regarding current trends, speculative trends, and jewelry ideas and information will also be included in these building blocks. Any individual who would like to showcase anything in their personal collection is more than welcome to post pictures, information, and personal thoughts on any piece of rough or faceted material. I wish to take a moment to ask everyone who is interested in any aspect of the field to provide insight on what they would like to see accomplished by this site.
