Welcome to www.adventures101.us. We offer museum quality Dominican amber with insects for sale and also rare Dominican blue amber for sale. Our collections include museum quality display specimens of rare insects in amber, unusual botanicals and flowers in amber and also rare Dominican blue amber. We have been collecting amber in the field since 1993, including extensive excavations in New Jersey, North Carolina, Wyoming, several localities in Alaska, and of course many many trips to the Dominican Republic where we have chiseled out beautiful Dominican amber gemstones in small hand excavated tunnels deep into the rich amber veins way up in the mountains north of Santiago.
We also offer very rare fluorescent minerals from both the Sterling Hill and the Franklin Zinc mines. Both mines are world renowned for their beautiful fluorescent minerals and both mines are reported as the Fluorescent Mineral Capital of the World. The Franklin Zinc mine closed in 1954 and although the Sterling Hill Zinc Mine closed in 1984 we have been very fortunate to have spent many hours underground in the Sterling Hill Zinc mine - retrieving artifacts and documenting some of the historic mine workings on video on in photographs. Enjoy!
