Our home/showroom in Greenfield, MA Our showroom Crystals on display	Treasure Mountain Mining was started in 1990 by Eric & Jeanne Greene as a small, part-time dealership offering crystals and minerals for sale and trade. We had no storefront or showroom – just a few display cases in the living room of our home in Greenfield, MA, a 3,000 specimen collection stored in blueprint file cases in the den, and an old barn that was stuffed with self-collected minerals. We started out attending several local mineral shows a year, and eventually graduated to selling in Tucson in 2000. Tiring of doing shows, we established our web site and eBay store in 2001. With the explosive growth and popularity of the internet and of eBay, our business skyrocketed. We soon realized that we had outgrown our small home, and began to look for another to house the business. In 2002 we purchased a large house on Church Street in Greenfield. Built in 1860 and expanded in 1920, the rambling 13 room house is a perfect fit for both our home and our business. A former doctor’s office area in the back of the house was converted into offices, shipping area, and showroom. We turned the 2,000 square foot basement into an oversize crystal warehouse, filling sturdy racks of shelving with boxes stuffed with crystals from all over the world. The extra space has allowed us to grow to be one of the larger mineral stores on eBay, and amongst the top mineral retailers on the internet. Our focus on providing a wide variety of quality specimens at sensible prices along with providing world class customer service have been the cornerstones of our business. Today, we are a full time business with four people working hard to meet our valued customers' needs. Founder and co-owner Eric Greene is our chief mineralogist and business manager. He has a background in geology, has worked as an art director for a large publishing company, has done much professional writing, has managed several large businesses, and received his MBA from Wetern New England College. He specializes in photographing specimens, designing and creating the web site and eBay listings, and writing the descriptions of the crystals and minerals we offer. In the warmer months, Eric fills his "spare" time mining for crystals and mineral specimens all over the Northeast. Co-owner Jeanne Greene (Eric’s wife) is our financial officer and director of customer service. She’s an expert at safely packaging and shipping delicate mineral specimens, and also pays the bills and provides customer feedback. Dave Adkins, Treasure Mountain Mining’s first full time employee, is in charge of our computer systems. He also manages our data base, is responsible for all our eBay relistings, and is now working on a complete overhaul of our website as we add new pages and new listings. Our newest employee is Andrea Carlin. She has brought a new level of professionalism to our office as she maintains our data base, creates invoices, records your payments, and handles the thousands of emails we receive each year with customer’s questions, comments and complaints about their orders. In the future, we hope for continuing growth as we pursue our mission to bring joy to your world by providing you, our treasured customers, with the highest quality crystals at the most affordable prices possible.
