I founded ChucksRocks.com in 2007 as an extension of my love for rocks and minerals.

Early in 2007, I purchased a small piece of property in Teller County, Colorado.  The property is known as the Sleeping Princess Mine and has produced beautiful amazonite and smoky quartz specimens, along with several other pegmatite minerals.  The property is near Crystal Peak, and is located in an area known for producing very fine specimens.

I am a geologist and mining engineer, and I work at a mine in Virginia.  This online business is really just a way to help pay for my hobby and give me an avenue to “share” some of the great finds from the Sleeping Princess property.

You will find some great Colorado minerals on this site as well as several other specimens I’ve picked up here and there.

Browse and enjoy!
