About Heritage Auctions - Nature & Science

Craig Kissick began his lifelong love affair with Natural History when he was given a Fluorite specimen and a book about minerals at age nine. After studying business at the University of Texas at Austin, working in the financial industry then obtaining a graduate degree from SMU, he went to work for the Discovery Store, where his passion for the geological sciences was ignited. He later started his own company specializing in marketing decorative mineral and fossil specimens to architectural firms, interior designers and individual collectors.
