Alan has loved minerals from early age when his Dad used to take him to the Museum spending most of time marveling at the Minerals in the Gallery and having as a bible Mineralogy for Amateurs by John Sinkankas. Since 2016, Alan provides overall leadership of Gem-A, a world-class gemmological education group while being a Scientific Associate of the Natural History Museum, London following 34 years’ experience as principle Curator and Head of Earth Science Collections including chair of the Museums overall collections strategic team. As a mineralogist and qualified gemmologist, he has a passion for earth sciences education and collections development and established global links within the research, trade and dealer environments. Alan is well known in the private collector environment and has developed much collaboration in terms of opportunities for collections development at the Museum and various exhibitions. Alan has developed and curated successful award-winning exhibitions including “Diamonds” and “The Vault”, undertaken numerous media and consulting activities representing geosciences. His personal research is both general and wide ranging within the mineral and gem fields, but currently focuses on the cutting of famous Mogul diamonds, course writing, and how Gem-A education provision and the various museum research collections can be unlocked to facilitate wide ranging research initiatives in advancing the science of nature. Alan is highly networked and passionate advocate within the earth sciences, gemmological research community and associated gemmological and jewellery industries and Editor-in-Chief of Gem-A’s Journal of Gemology. He is passionate in seeking and combining expertise to educate, benefit and inspire future generations in gemmology and its related fields. Alan loves gems, but minerals will always be his crazy hobby; learning about them, and the people associated with them gives him huge fulfillment, and many friends along the way. Alan has travelled extensively and has become a mineral influencer in social media (Instagram: alandhart<https://www.instagram.com/alandhart/?hl=en>). He has seen many collections and collectors and been so fortunate to be trusted to view and see some of the world’s greatest minerals and now gem treasures.
