Joseph F. Lizzadro, Sr. was a lapidary hobbyist and collector who appreciated the unique characteristics of the mineral world fashioning rough gem material into objects of beauty. In the late 1930's he acquired his first Chinese jade carving and was overwhelmed by the carver's ability and began to collect more pieces to add to his collection.
