Presentation : Français / English (next to the dots ....)
Ben voilà. J'ai croisé sur un marché de mon petit village du sud de la France un "Marchand de cailloux" qui m'a donné le virus. Et c'est parti.
Adolescent, les premières sorties dans des anciennes mines où il n'y avait rien à trouver, ou presque ; et puis : Duranus et Cap-Garonne.
Et le virus ne m'a jamais quitté. Je l'ai mis en veilleuse, d'autres passions l'ayant parfois étouffé (la musique surtout) mais il reste toujours bien vivant, bien présent : 25 ans qu'il me hante pour mon plus grand bonheur : Très bonne maladie !!!
...
Here I am. I met, on a market, in the little town in south of France where I was born, a Crazy guy who was selling stones. and he gave me his disease.
As a teenager I first visited ancient mines... where there was almost nothing to find. But I quickly discovered Duranus, and Cap-Garonne (still my main interest).
This disease never left me. I did other things, got other deseases (especially music) but this main one remains still alive and comes back again and again... for my greatest joy.

A ridiculously colorful specimen, consisting of brilliant, transparent crystals of bright red Carminite, associated with yellow Beudantite, iridescent blue botryoidal Goethite, and a single thin white Cerussite crystal. This specimen was challenging to photograph, primarily for two reasons. First, there is a wide range between the brightest and ...

Pascal Chollet's Blog
A blog is a series of personal articles recorded in date-order somewhat like diary entries. You can use your blog to keep track of your collecting adventures, your purchases, your thoughts and ideas, anything that you think other mindat.org members would be interested to read about. Other members can leave comments after your blog entry, but you can delete any comments you find inappropriate.
Pascal Chollet's Articles
Articles are pages created by you to share with other mindat.org users. These may be serious (a formal scientific article) or personal (you could write an article about your collecting adventures, or about your artistic creations). You can work on your articles in private until you are ready to publish them. The best articles will be promoted throughout the site.
Unlike Blog Entries, you can continue to edit your articles if they have been published (should you find new information, for example).
