Many customers like to know about the company and people behind the products they buy. Here we will tell you a little about ourselves and our company. Riviera-1Minerals Business Philosophy and History. Riviera-1 Minerals has been around since 1999. I have been collecting minerals specimens for over twenty five years and enjoy going rock hunting every chance I get. Like a lot of collectors after many years collecting you obtain many extra mineral specimens. About seven years ago I decided to sell on Ebay to make a little money to help offset the cost of collecting. As time went I traded , found and purchase many minerals from around the world. I decided to start selling at a few local shows to sell some of the excess minerals I had. As time past I began to get more specimens to sell and really enjoying talking to people at the shows and on the internet. In my on collection I have upgraded the specimens I collect and also doing the same as for the material I sale. Now we have a web site to let others take a look at what we have to offer. I try to only purchase the best specimens with no damage. In my on collections I try not to have any mineral specimens with dings or damage so I feel most collectors like to have the same. I am continuing to purchase more new and better material to offer the public. I try to keep the cost down so there can be quality specimens at a cheaper price. I will always negotiate on any price of any mineral specimens. Many of my friends call me Mr.Furgal in the way I search out for deals . I will be continuing to upgrade and getting new mineral specimens to add to the web site. The materials on the web site is just a small amount of what is offer for sale.
