Joseph A. FREILICH
Joe Freilich began collecting minerals at the age of 6. After having been given a small collection by a neighbor, his passion was sparked, which has lasted a lifetime.
Around age 40, when he began to generate more serious income, Joe decided he wanted to build an important collection. He knew Dave Wilber was the man to help him, so in 1997 he hired Dave as a full time curator. The collection went on display at Tucson, 2000, and the rest is history. Please see the Mineralogical Record Magazine, Jan-Feb 2000, the Joseph A. Freilich Mineral Collection issue.( Volume 31, #1 )
Joe is now a full time mineral dealer, and can be reached at gemcrystals@aol.com
