This man's gem collection may be the world's best private display

Absolutely stunning. Nature can never be beaten. Thank u for sharing.

my paltry stone collection in a bowl are still just as beautiful. What a lovely collection you have. Greetings from UK.

Nice collection and an awesome energy. Only being a bit more modest would be icing on the cake. Especially on social media where it’s more about the price and less about the amazing minerals themselves

daniel trinchilos collection is MUCH better

😯wow! What an amazingly beautiful collection. Agates n Amethyst love em! ✌️Yep! ..Mother Earth makes best creations! 😊

Thats the biggest amethyst geode I've ever seen! Imagine a piece so big it buckles your house! My biggest piece in my collection is a 90 lb quad geode from the Polka Dot mine in Oregon.

What does this guy do for a living?! 1:48 This alone is probably half a million

He’s so modest! 😂😂😂

Now we see ,money makes you really happy😂

Beautiful!

I’ve always loved agates and geodes. Unreal collection, I’m amazed.

Mowie wowie!!!

If I had the money, this would definitely be my one guilty pleasure, collecting minerals. I feel the same as he does, mother nature can't be beat when it comes to art and beauty. Hands down there is nothing that blows my mind more than to see these minerals and know they come from this earth we are so fortunate to live upon. I don't however like the resourcing of these minerals, that is the guilty part of it for me. Because many of these, no matter what is said about how "ethically" they are collected, in reality there are people desperate to make a living for their families risking their lives to get these things out of the earth for us to enjoy and they don't get near what they deserve for doing so. The middle man gets it all and that is shameful.

This is so amazing and beautiful 🤩😍

Just a little positive energy, this one has.

This is a very lovely collection but it appears to put more emphasis on high end "decorative pieces" that are showy and colorful than it does on items that have rarity due to there locality or species. Mineral collections and their collectors seem to fall into multiple levels of collecting. I have seen collections like this and others that collect only one species or one country or state and even one mine. Then I have seen them that collect one say gem minerals or ore type minerals. Then there are those who go for ultra rare species that aren't always the most colorful or showy pieces but they might be something that only one pocket was found or just a few know pieces came out. Don't get me wrong this fellow has a very impressive collection something that it is obvious he spent hundreds of thousands of dollars on but I am more of collector that leans towards localities and rarity and variety which doesn't always come in large colorful show pieces but I certainly have to give his collection allot of respect as it is beautiful. The cases and lighting alone must have cost thousands of dollars. One thing that I have always wondered though is why allot of collectors don't label there pieces when they have them on display? I have seen other very nice collections with specimens out for viewing with no labels to identify them. For someone who seriously collects minerals they might be able to just look at a piece and know where it came from and what it is but for those who don't, identifying labels are helpful. I have a buddy who has a beautiful collection of NC minerals in nice cases but none are labeled. That always bugged me. I suggested that he should print some out and put them with each piece but he said that would take to long. I don't know, me personally, I think that if you are going for the "museum" aspect of showing off your collection and take the time to invest in fine minerals and nice display cases, then identifying labels is a must. Either way......I enjoy seeing mineral specimens no matter if they are unlabeled in a cardboard box or in a fine cabinet. I have an older friend who has collected minerals for years and does his brother. They keep everything in boxes and crates scattered all over there house, in the basement, in the yard allot of which gets damaged due to the way they store them. They will spend thousands on a piece, wrap it in newspaper and forget about it for 40 years. Both are in their 80's and are starting to sell off stuff. Going through the boxes is a true treasure hunt and I have seen some great stuff that was still well preserved, some with labels some without and I have seen some nice pieces sadly damaged. It always pays to label a piece and protect it well regardless if it out on display in a case or in storage. Some of the pieces in my friends inventory haven't seen the light of day in a 1/2 century. They called me to help identify allot of it because they can't remember and most of it has no labels. Anyway... just preaching the importance of identifying and protecting specimens. When you are old or worse dead and gone, you don't won't your stuff to get damaged or misidentified because of a lack of a good identifying label.

No offense, but there are collectors whose individual rocks are worth more than this entire collection.

VERY NICE CALLACTION😍

Nice ❤

Dream collection right here. Mine is only the size of a desk.
