Comments, inquiries and questions are always welcome and we will do our very best to follow up on all of them... My father, Paul Lortie, graduated in 1979 with a degree in Engineering Geology and Geophysics. In the mid 1980's, Paul developed an interest for collecting minerals and fossils with the Columbia Gem & Mineral Society while working as a geophysicist for a mineral exploration company based in Camden, South Carolina. At that time, his interest was shared with two other geologists and together they started a business to buy, sell and trade minerals, gems and jewels... After moving back to Canada in late 1987 to work as a fulltime consulting geophysicist, Paul continued his distance education..
