hello,
A l'age de neuf ans,je découvre la minéralogie et ce n'est que beaucoup plus tard, dès mes premières indépendances que je me lance véritablement à la recherche.
Etant natif du Morvan (région de France situé en Bourgogne), j'ai tout d'abord gratté près de chez moi.
Mes premiers bouquins, me laissant rêver à d'incroyable trouvaille, ma collection naissante quant à elle n'évoluera guère et plutôt axé sur des échantillons massifs non cristallisé.
Ensuite, et l'expérience aidant, j'ai été plus à même de récolter des pièces plus esthétiques et intéressantes.
En Avril 2007, je rencontre Erik Perna qui me fait connaitre la paléontologie que j'apprécie aujourd'hui tout autant sinon plus que la minéralogie.
En cette fin d'année 2008, j'ai centré ma collection sur la fluorine, pyromorphite et le quartz.

hello,
I first started to be interrested in mineralogy when I was Nine, but it really started to collect by myself several years ago, when I finally the age to start to live by myself.
As I was born in the Morvan ( a place of mounts located in burgundy, in the east center of France), I first visited the sites located in this place, around my home.
Althought I was dreaming about the stunning pieces shown in the books I read, my collection stood for a while at a low level, mainly massive or poorly cristallised samples .
Then, I got wiser, and became able to find more interesting and aesthetic pieces.
I met Erik Perna during april 2007, and he introduced me to paleontology, wich I now enjoy as much as mineralogy and, maybe, even more.
Nowadays, I turned my main interrest on fluorite, pyromorphite and quartz.

David Steiner'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.
David Steiner'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).
