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

He’s known as The Gem Guy on tiktok and his videos about his massive geodes and secret rooms full of gems have amassed him over 500k followers on the platform.

The Gem Guy began collecting gems after taking his kids to a gem exhibition nearly 10 years ago and his fascination grew. “Seeing that this beauty exists in nature is really inspiring. I really love it”.

From there his collection expanded with a giant amethyst geode that weighs over 7400 pounds. “When we brought it into the house…it started buckling the house, so we had to reinforce the house.”

The backyard has a 7-foot waterfall surrounded by an amethyst river and behind a 500-pound door is a secret room with his most coveted pieces.

“The idea of me selling this off piecemeal, that is not something I was to do. I hope to have a generation’s worth of purpose with this collection. I want this to have maximum positive impact on people.”

  1. Do you have any agate polyhedrons (WTFIT?)These are Angular Agates ie. With angular banding not concentric .When I first saw one , my first thought was “There is a God “and my second was ” What the hell is that ?”….It’s an agate ‘ said the owner …
    “No….Agates are ROUND 😮” said I , ” oh it’s an agate ….”.said he . ‘NO., Agates are ROUND ‘I insisted.”It’s an agate polyhedroid ” ‘An Agate polywhatnot? ‘ And there in front of me was an utter miracle of mineralogy, and I’ve been collecting them ever since .If you look at the Tucson footage there’s a lot of polyhedric agate .All my best bits are on my window sill and chest of drawers.I adore The “Fairy Castle “.

  2. If you like Mexican agates, you should see Gaumer’s Gem Museum collection (‘and shop) in Red Bluff, California
