Hello and welcome to Open Adit West ! We are a family-run mineral specimen business. My name is Mark Kielbaso and thanks to my father, Joe Kielbaso, who has been collecting since he was a kid. He has passed his desire and passion for field-collecting and acquiring great mineral specimens to me and my sister, Lisa Brower. Please read more of our mineral past on our About Me page and see some great photos from our field collecting adventures at the Elmwood Mine, Tennessee, Brushy Creek Mine, Missouri and Cave-in-Rock, Illinois...

Beautiful specimen! Crystals are as described, but the photos don't do it justice. Great vivid blue color. Now I understand why the Milpillas material brings such high prices. It was carefully wrapped and shipped with another piece I also bought. Shipping was fast and the seller is willing to combine shipping. What I really appreciate about this seller is the little card with information about the specimen. Wish more sellers would do that. Thank you for the nice mineral and excellent service.
Specimens won in an auction. The mineral specimens matched their descriptions and the videos depicted the specimens accurately. Any discrepancies associated with a mineral are always indicated accurately. The size of the specimen is always accurately indicated. Great videos of the specimen that allows the buyer to inspect the specimen. The packaging and shipping was great. They also refunded my account for combined shipping of two specimens. This is a first rate, great dealer to buy from.
Amazing seller, definitely top tier. They carefully packaged my item, it looks the same in person as it did on the listing. The item arrived quickly. I will definitely be buying from this seller again. Probably the most reputable seller I have conducted business with. I appreciate all the details they include with the packaging, such as where the gemstone was found. I got lucky with this piece, the seller honored the auction and its final price. I feel like I got a deal.
