Hence, I started work on developing a commercial rock shop for the internet during December 1995. What I wanted was to have a rock shop that would provide for some interaction by the viewer. Hence, two things I set out to do was tell stories about the rocks that I had personally collected that were for sale to convey the human aspect behind the mineral specimen. Secondly, I created the Auction Room as way to engage visitors and allow them to price some of my specimens.
Auctions are now a common place event on the internet.
It is my intention to continue on with the Auction Room for the foreseeable future at least. The name is taken from the name of the county that I live in. Weaverville Mineral Company didn't have quite the ring that Trinity Mineral Company did. If you ever come to Weaverville you will see lots of businesses such as Trinity Travel, Trinity Motel, Trinity Cleaners, Trinity Bakery, etc. The past 5 years of Trinity Mineral Company's existence has resulted in many new and hopefully lasting friendships.
