Old rockers never die, they just blend into the scenery...

General NewsHi Josh!
Chuck, John and I are getting the collecting bug again. Yesterday we went to Phoenixville along the river. We collected what looks like Dolomite and Quartz from piles off several yards off the river but didn't find the fossil collecting sites. It was still good to be out and about and get some exercise.

What have you been up to??

Mineral Collecting Site Redesign Coming!

Rock Collecting LogPa Prospector is planning a face lift this winter. It all started igneous, then got sort of sedementary for a while, so its time for a little metmorphic action. :-)

Because of the feedback and excessive comment spam, I will be resigning this site. I will still keep special social sections for PA collectors and events, but I have realized that there is some entertainment demand for more frequent general stories and videos for rockhounds. So I will ne changing the fromt-end look and the content management system for this site. Please forgive my dust during this reconstruction period over the next many weeks. I hope you'll continue to return to see the transformation.

Pennsylvania Geology For Sale

I'm the first to admit that the concept of ordering rocks thru the Internet kind of adds the 'Gee' to Geology.

Unwittingly, I seem to always have a surplus supply of beautiful samples of Pennsylvania geology (and some rocks from other states and countries). Therefore, I list below the rock locations you can usually ask me about.

Prices vary depending on quantity, rarity of specimens or collecting location. Just remember, the only cheaper way to get them is to collect them yourself.

Geology & Mineral Samples available from:

Easton, PA
Phillipsburg, NJ
Deer Lake, PA
Seven Stars, PA
Swatara Gap, PA
Phoenixville, PA
Rossville, PA
Mont Clare, PA
Hellertown, PA "Texas" New Britain, PA
Media, PA
St. Clair, PA
Jim Thorpe, PA
Trainer Farm, PA
Shanesville, PA
Fruitville, PA

Franklin, NJ

and points in between and beyond....

For prices, quantities, etc. please email me what you are looking for and your budget and I'll give you a quote. Sorry no time to build a shopping cart yet. I'm too busy collecting, but you can reach me by:
