REL Mining West. Schuh BioBiblio from MR. Annotated Bio-Bibliographyof Mineralogy and Crystallography1469-1919 by Curtis P. Schuh (1959-2007) This annotated bio-bibliography of mineralogy and crystallography is the work of the late Curtis Paul Schuh, prominent but largely unpublished mineralogical bibliographer. He was born in Boulder, Colorado on April 16, 1959, and grew up in Broomfield, north of Denver. His father, George Schuh, a retired agent for the Internal Revenue Service, died in 1984 and his mother, Jane Hantschel Schuh, died in 1985. Curtis never married, and lived a solitary life of scholarship and study. He first became interested in minerals when he was only three or four years old, through the influence of neighbors who enjoyed polishing agates.

Curtis had first become interested in lapidary, especially opals, but he soon changed his direction and concentrated instead on crystallized minerals, which he found fascinating. When his father retired in 1976, he said he was tired of snow and wanted to move to Tucson.
