John Sinkankas

John Sinkankas (1915–2002) was an honored Navy officer and aviator, noted gemologist, gem carver and gem faceter, author of many books and articles on minerals and gemstones, and a bookseller and bibliographer of rare books.
==Early life==
John Sinkankas was born in Paterson, New Jersey. He was the son of Joseph Sinkankas and Domicelė Klimas, who immigrated from Lithuania just before the turn of the century. At the age of seven he visited the New Street Quarries in Paterson, where he saw and collected crystals of apophyllite, prehnite, quartz, calcite and other mineral specimens. When older, he would go on field trips with Dr. James Morton, curator of the Paterson Museum, and visited the magnetite mine, abandoned blast-furnances, quarries and mines.
In high school he developed a love of flying, and frequently visited the Teterboro Airport and spoke with early aviators and to see the Fokker aircraft, Gates Flying Circus and others. While still in high school, he made a glider with a seat in the front, but his father did not allow him to fly it more than once. After completing high school, he obtained his BS degree from the New Jersey State Teacher's College, later to become the William Paterson College of New Jersey.〔Nassau, Kurt. 1989.

In 1940 He married Marjorie Jane McMichael of Paterson, New Jersey, and had four children: John William, George Martin, Sharon Jane Tooley, and Marjorie Ellen Coates.
