Thirteen-year-old Judah Tyreman started the Sesula Mineral and Gem Museum in Radisson because he wanted to share his passion for rocks with as many people as possible.
After someone broke into the shop and stole a variety of his specimens, amateur and professional rock enthusiasts stepped up to help the teen get his museum back up and running.
Tyreman said he immediately knew what had happened when he walked up to the museum on Sunday morning to find the door jimmied open and jewelry scattered on the ground outside. Someone had helped themselves to items estimated to be worth $6,000 to $8,000, including a piece of rare ocean jasper worth about $3,000.
They also stole the museum’s donation jar.
