Bob's Best Buys: Page 1


Welcome rockhounds, mineral collectors, lapidarists, nature lovers, and all other interested parties. My name is Bob Drummond. I'm a miner, collector, facetor, gemologist, and occasional mineral dealer (Click here for
more info on Bob).


My main business, Mountain Lily Gems, involves the sale of museum quality faceted stones, but I often acquire fine mineral specimens that, for one reason or another, I can't use as facet material. Many of the specimens shown here are just too nice to cut up! Other specimens were simply bought on an impulse because they were just too pretty to pass by. Take a look and enjoy the beauty of nature. These specimens are available for sale or trade. See our order page for specific terms.
