About David Herskowitz
David Herskowitz began his career as a fine gem and mineral dealer in 1988. When he discovered a beautifully preserved insect in one of his stock of amber nuggets, he became entranced and switched his focus solely to Natural History. For many years he owned and directed a specialty business importing amber specimens before moving on to conduct Natural History auctions in New York City. An acknowledged leader in the field of fine Natural History specimens, from gems and minerals to bones and fossils, he has appeared on CNN, NBC, and ABC, and has been featured in numerous articles appearing in The Washington Post, The New York Times, The Los Angeles Times, and, more recently, in Natural History Magazine.
