Museum Testimonials

"I stopped to visit and browse at your shop this past July. I purchased a copy of your book entitled "Understanding and Finding Agates". Indulging in a little nostalgia and longing for my beloved UP, I looked up your site again. Keep up your work and enthusiasm. Your are truly blessed by God to own your humble but appreciated agate shop and it's prior history. Axel is looking down from heaven and smiling on your passion for that piece of heaven on earth."
- Thanks, Nancy Thompson

"I enjoyed the agate presentation you made Sunday. I have been collecting Lake Superior agates for over 30 years. I had done a fair amount of reading on agates but you brought out a number of things that I do not remember reading about. Now when I’m out looking for agates, I will be looking at them in a different way. P.S.--You have a great web page. Again, thank for the informative presentation on agates."
- Ernie Johnson, Marquette, MI

"My wife and I took your agate class this past Saturday. Saturday evening, we went hunting on the beach at Muskellunge State Park, and I found an agate fragment. It's about 1" x 2" and maybe a quarter inch thick. I was quite pleased with myself and just wanted to let you know that we really enjoyed your class. After several years of picking up rocks on the shores of Lake Superior, we finally have a bit of a clue what we're doing."
- Thanks Again, Dave Root

Agate Book Testimonials

"I just got a copy of your Agate book last weekend and I think it's the best I've seen on helping me to identify an Agate. Yes, in full dress, an agate is pretty identifiable, but I don't find many like that, so I have to be looking for other clues."
- Thanks again, James L. Jansen, St Paul MN

"We purchased your book from B. Dalton and found it to be very informative. May I also add it was an enjoyable, easy read. Thank you. Being some what new to the agate hunting hobby, it made things very understandable for us. Thanks again for your wonderful book! Peace Be With You."
- Mike and Rhonda Brody Elk Run Heights, IA
