Greetings everyone. My name is Mr. Kerry Day. I am the owner and proprietor of Kaygeedee Minerals, a Canadian company devoted to the mineral collecting hobby. I am an economic geologist/mineralogist/SEM-EDS operator of seventeen years by profession and a mineral collector of twentytwo years by hobby. My web site is subdivided into four sections, namely: i) Common species; ii) Species For Systematic Collectors; iii) New Additions; and iv) EDS. Within Common species you will find an alphabetical listing for the most common 250 mineral species and lapidary varieties known to collectors (in my opinion). Within Species For Systematic Collectors you will find an alphabetical listing of over a hundred rarer species. I do extensive collecting at Mont Saint-Hilaire Quebec and have an extensive list of rare minerals from this locality. Within New Additions you will find, on a monthly or seasonal basis, the new additions to my stock from a variety of sources. If you have requests for specific species/pieces please forward them to me as soon as possible for local collectors consume many new finds/acquisitions before they are listed on the net, and within EDS you will find the details of a qualitative EDS service which I provide.

Lapis International has agreed to publish English edition of all twenty in the series over the next ten years, simultaneously reissuing, in English, new issues in the series following their publication in German. Their first issue on the minerals of the island of Madagascar was published in November 2001.

LITHOGRAPHIE, LLC began business under the name Lapis International, LLC in 2001, when mineral dealer and small business consultant Gloria Staebler teamed up with mineralogist and Lapis editor Günther Neumeier to publish licensed English-language editions of the prestigious German mineralogical monograph series extraLapis. Working with author Federico Pezzotta, pegmatite specialist William “Skip” Simmons and translator Alfredo Petrov, the pair published Madagascar, the first extraLapis English monograph, in December 2001. While the English edition of Madagascar was updated and re-edited, it remained was fairly close to the German original. For the second extraLapis, Emeralds of the World, the late John Sinkankas and then Royal Ontario Museum gemologist Terry Ottaway were guest editors. John encouraged Gloria and Günther to depart from the German editions by replacing select texts with articles designed to give the books a more international appeal. John also introduced more rigorous editorial standards, insisting that the quality of the texts matched that of Lapis’ stunning illustrations. He was adamant that the English issues should include a reference list.
