Spain
in this period of the world's mineralogical history was like a desert, without
significant collectors, without decent mineral Shows, and without any real mineralogical
tradition. That said it was also the age of the great Spanish finds: Aliva mine
gemmy Sphalerites, the best Eugui Dolomites, great La Collada and Berbes
Fluorite, and many others. |
So, something that was started just as a hobby that I shared with my passion
for trips has grown slowly until now, and I have behind me a lot of deals,
a lot of experiences, a lot of knowledge, and, best of all, a lot of friends.
All together this has helped me to obtain more and better specimens from my classic
sources as well as from other new sources, such as the private collections that
I acquire as often as I can, or from new finds that I get from the people working
for me in mines, thus trying to select "on the ground" the main novelties.
Also I get from time to time some extremely unusual specimens due my good relationships
with several significant Museums, the only practical source for some extremely
scarce specimens. | |
Probably due to all this history and knowledge our specimens are frequently mentioned and photographed for their quality and mineralogical interest in books and magazines such as: |
