Introduction
Cyberocks was created in 1998 as a Website dedicated to offering
collectors aesthetically pleasing and quality minerals, fossils and fluorescents that are
reasonably priced. Our goal is to provide, "Good pieces at good
prices" and to do so we only acquire specimens from reputable sources. So from
Pyrite to Cavansite, thumbnail to cabinet size, we hope that Cyberocks can provide you
with specimens you will enjoy.
1st Time Visitors
Welcome again. Below are listed several sections of
specific information about CyberRocks. These sections will not only explain how to use CyberRocks, but also how we setup and plan to maintain this website. A Feedback form
is also included on this page.
 | The name - Why is there only one " r " in Cyberocks?
We chose to establish the Website name with only one " r " to highlight
the combination of Cyberspace with Rocks and Minerals. Since we were combining the
two on the Net, we decided to combine the two in our name.
In 2005 we were able to secure the name CyberRocks and have changed most of
our listing accordingly. Either way, the specimens
are the same.
|
| Who is CyberRocks - My name is Steven M. Shramko and CyberRocks is
owned and maintained by myself and my family. We are based in
Baltimore, Maryland. I have been a collector for many years and attend most of the major
shows and many of the shows on the East Coast, looking for quality specimens at reasonable prices.

Website Specifics
| Mineral and Fossil specimens are photographed with a
Mavica Digital camera while the Fluorescents are photographed with a Kodak Digital Camera and are imported directly into the computer.
|
| The lighting used to illuminate the mineral and fossil specimens
consists of 2 Solex lights. Small spotlights may also
be used. Natural light is also sometimes used.
|
| For fluorescent specimens, a Raytech SW218 fluorescent light
is used and placed approximately 6 -12 inches above and directly over the specimen.
|
| Images - The images that you see on the Cyberocks Website have
been imported directly from the cameras into Adobe PhotoDeluxe imaging software.
Every effort is made to accurately reflect the look and quality of the
specimen with the image you see on the Cyberocks Website. Any difference in the
appearance of the image from the actual specimen will be noted below the image.
