About this Book:

In this treasure trove, Roy shares the confessions and adventures, of a modern day “Indiana Jones”. These are heartwarming and hilarious tales of collecting crystals and chasing mine varmints in the Desert Southwest. We get glimpse into the dangerous, dirty, & exhilarating work of liberating crystals and mineral specimens, some more valuable than a King’s Ransom, from the ground beneath our feet. Why do people travel miles out of their way, camp out in the wild, get up at Oh-Dark-Thirty in the morning, strain their muscles, sweat like pigs, and singe their eyebrows with open flame lights, only to end up whacking their own fingers with a sledge hammer? For mineral collectors, rocks hounds, or innocent bystanders, Lee says, “It’s because collecting is part treasure hunting, part addiction, part Zen, and part masochism - mostly masochism.”

About the Author:

A successful entrepreneur and businessman, Roy Lee took up mineral collecting first for fun, and later for profit, as a second grader in Casa Grande, Arizona. Now, nearly five decades later, when Roy hears the sweet laughter of the Mineral Gods he knows they laugh with him.

Book Review:

One of the great mineral collecting areas is the American southwest. This book brings to life some of the colorful characters of the time. Reading about their adventures, trials and tribulations & even misadventures as told through the eyes of one of them, helps the reader relive those halcyon days of mineral collecting. I recommend this book to collectors of today. To read first hand collecting experiences of 50 years ago, to know first hand who discovered rich pockets of wulfenite, first dug bright blue linarites of the Grand Reef Mine and who ventured wherever minerals called brings our hobby alive. The author has written an historical and humorous record of collecting at a time when huge quantities of specimens were there for the digging and when some of the best known characters of our hobby roamed the earth. -Bob Jones, Senior Consulting Editor, Rock & Gem Magazine- www.rockngem.com
