Well, this past year has sure been a doozy. I hope you have found a way to THRIVE. I sure did!!!

The journey has been a wild one which has included a path toward healthiness. All kinds of healthiness from embracing my new Live-IT way of eating and living and thriving to settling down a bit more, getting a new home, and restructuring and changing my “business” in many many different ways.

The first big change is that you’re not likely to see me setting up to sell treasures at festivals and assorted gem and mineral shows.

I did some calculating of both the time and effort and the money it costs me to do these things, and it just doesn’t quite pencil out anymore.

I’m sure there will be the occasional special event that I will in fact attend and bring treasures to share, however, I do not expect it to become the routine that is was in the past.

In the meanwhile, I’ve been working on a product line. Some things I have sourced around the world, and can provide to my clients regularly, both retail and wholesale.

I pride myself in my lightning fast shipping, whenever possible. Sometimes I can get things shipped out within seconds of payments being processed. Now, that is a rarity, nonetheless, I do get things shipped as fast as possible.

Check out the new Violet Sky Agate. This new material, found in Java, Indonesia last year is something I’ve never seen before. It’s kind of a cross between Larimar and purple Chalcedony with light blue wisps flowing through the violet giving the appearance of clouds in the sky.

I’ll tell ya, I sure need somebody to manage my site…I haven’t updated it in probably a year or more. I noticed because I was looking at it today and saw where I’d said I was having the material analyzed, and I already had a report on it.

Turns out it’s vanadium that provides the chromophore in this material. I did manage to get a bit more and will have it with me at the Tucson show.

I was assured by my supplier that it is 100% natural. I’ve seen the rough material, and am well convinced that it is indeed natural.

Another project I’ve been working on is checking out assorted mineralogically interesting places in the Philippines. It’s a great country, and has a very diverse mineralogy. We’ve found everything from Amethyst to Uvarovite Garnet to wonderful petrified woods and fossil coral. And a few more yet to be analyzed things that could be very exciting.

Planning another trip to the Philippines in July to research a Treasure Hunting Adventure Tour there in 2024.

Digging Grape Agates in Indonesia with the locals

I’m a treasure hunter and inventor by trade. I travel the globe in search of cool treasures.

Sometimes I work with master crafters in local villages to create new treasures.

Sometimes I find new, never before seen minerals, or long forgotten rock and roll memorabilia.

I like all kinds of stuff, so you’ll find all kinds of stuff here that you can buy.

My name comes from the Chinese philosophy of Taoism.

P’u is the Chinese character for “the uncarved block”

Tzu is the character for child.

Being that Taoism is the origination of the yin yang, Tzu has also come to mean master.

I do not picture myself as a master of anything.

I am but a child constantly changing on my way to becoming a master of Taoism and life itself.

The master knows that he knows nothing…

When one follows the correct path, life will unfold with the mystery and beauty of a thousand petaled lotus blossom.
