Book Review: The Collector's Guide to the Minerals of New York State

I recently ordered a copy of the new book by Dr. Steven C. Chamberlain and Dr. George W. Robinson titled "The Collector's Guide to the Minerals of New York State." The book was published this past year, and definitely filled an important void. New York State has a rich mineral history with many classic localities. This book focuses on many of those important New York mines and deposits.

Minerals.net Redesign:

We have almost completed the redesign of our website with an anticipated January roll out. The new design sports an updated look with a number of exciting features.
Stay tuned!
