From his Wikipedia entry:

"Father Jacques Marquette S.J., sometimes known as Père Marquette or James Marquette, was a French Jesuit missionary who founded Michigan's first European settlement, Sault Ste. Marie, and later founded St. Ignace, Michigan."

He was born on June 1, 1637 in Laon, France and died May 18, 1675 in Michigan.

There is no online mention of his gathering gemstones, but if he did, he accomplished this during his lifetime, above.
