AboutC. Robert Reszka, Jr. Expertise I can answer any general geology question (rocks, minerals, stratigraphy, geomorphology etc.). My expertise is in the geology of the Michigan Basin, PreCambrian, Paleozoic and Recent. I can answer questions concerning mining and petroleum exploration and production and the laws concerning those activities. I can also answer questions concerning stratigraphy of the Michigan Basin. I will also answer questions about mineral and rock collecting in the Basin. I won`t be able to answer many specific questions on hydrology, geophysics or geochemistry. I may be able to answer very general questions in those venues.
Experience I have been working for the State of Michigan for 24 years as a Geologist and a Resource Analyst. I have experience with Subsurface Geology and Petroleum Geology, mining in Michigan, and Sand Dune Mining and Protection issues.

The diamond you are speaking of is the Dowagiac Diamond found in 1895 near Dowagiac Mi. It was 10. 875ct and I think the fellow that found it was an Asian RR worker. I don't where it went but one big diamond dealer, a noted name has a collection of Michigan diamonds.
