Hello, I am John Diaz founder of Darkhorse Minerals, and an avid collector of worldwide Minerals.
My passion for Minerals skyrocketed when I had the opportunity to view the collection of world renouned Mineral collector Bill Pinch. All I could say was "WOW!!!"
One year later I started Darkhorse Minerals.
Darkhorse meaning "The Unexpected Winner" came about while in the field, often at the last minute when quarry's were soon closing I would often come across the find of the day, "The Unexpected Winner".
Often when purchasing Minerals online, the pictures never duplicate the true beauty of the specimen at hand. With a keen eye for beauty, perfection, and aesthetics, I strive on making every order "Your Unexpected Winner".
Welcome to Darkhorse Minerals!
