Selling off my collections of the past 50 years. Books, stamps, coins, jewelry, stones and misc.
I am 69. Before two I traveled to several states and some jungle somewhere in Mexico. Supposedly contracted malaria and almost died. Had my second birthday on a tramp steamer in Manila Harbor. Spent most of my youth in Mindanao with two trips to the US in the mix. Left in 1969. Vietnam, Thailand, Japan, Germany then more Vietnam, Thailand and now for the past 23 years, settled in the Pacific Northwest.
I have always collected and did "things." In the Philippines, it was gardens, orchids fishing, and stamp collecting. In my adulthood, it was stamps, books, magazines, rocks, polishing rocks, making jewelry, some small antiques and different items I found in my meanderings. It is time to wane rather than wax so I am selling it as I can catalogue, cut, make, or otherwise manage it. New stuff all the time and feel free to ask questions.
Links for enjoyment and learning.
I like to share! This is where I post links that may be of interest to other people. Funny links, educational links or just interesting links.

Ask Me!
You can ask if I have related items. Gradually, I will put together a general list of what is out there. RE stones, I am not cutting to order at this time, but you could ask if I have a certain shape or size based on what you see. For example, I have lapis lazuli and you might ask if I have a 30 X 40 mm cab.
Upcoming events?
Nothing scheduled at this time.

Do you combine orders for shipping? Absolutely. Typically, I would refund by a check in the box if I can save you money on shipping.

At the moment, most of the products listed are stones, many of which I cut and polished and some were bought on my last trip to Bangkok in 2018.

I am happy to do wholesale sales on some items. Some will be be less than wholesale. For example, I have a large stack of old Electronics and another of photography magazines. Like to move them all along.
