Description
For over half a century, Wayne A. Thompson and Friends have dug world-class specimens across four continents, sometimes, under life-threatening conditions.
This book is a chronicle of Wayne and his friends’ mining days. 83 stories by 31 authors, written by Wayne and his fellow mineral collectors, provide a behind-the-scenes insight into the largely-unknown world of what it takes to dig fine minerals.
There are vintage snapshots of mining operations accompany the stories. Professional photographs of the minerals collected show the results of dedicated work. The beauty of the specimens speak for themselves!
