Chris Jewson is a keen and knowledgeable mineral collector in Cornwall, England. I met Chris when he came to Australia back in 2006. We have kept in touch since.
I have a number of Cornish minerals in my collection that came from Chris directly (such as the arsenopyrite trilling below), or via Bernie Day’s collection. The labels don’t have Chris’ name on them, but his handwriting is unmistakeable.
