I am Matthew Neuzil, from Cleveland Ohio. I am a struggling geology student at the University of Akron. I was first introduced to rocks from my mother who had some from when she cleaned some tourist's cottages in Bancroft Ontario, where she grew up. I was lucky enough to visit Bancroft often although it wasn't until I was about 16 that I started collecting. Not long after my major for college changed from fisheries management to Geology. I have been collecting ever since and most my pieces are self-collected, most of which are from Bancroft.

 

One of my dreams are to prospect Bancroft, the Pikes Peak area in Colorado, and or the Pala area of California.
