Wellcome fellow rockhunters!

Just a few info about me and my minerals. I live in Prague, Czech Republic. I was born in 1974. I started collecting in 1983. Mineralogy is "just" my hobby, not a profession. I studied medicine (Charles University, Prague) and I work as a neurologist in Neurology Department of 2nd Faculty of Medicine, Charles University and Faculty Hospital Motol, Prague.

My mineral collection is composed nowadays only from self collected specimens. The only exceptions are gifts from my family or friends and a couple of specimens bought in the end of 80's (again gifts from my parents).
I do go out for field collecting nearly every week having great family time with my wife and kids! The great amount of my "mineral" time is taken by macro and microphotography of my specimens.
The last of my mineral hobbies is photography of specimens from Czech Republic in museums (where You can see the glorious specimens from the past - e.g. Prague, Wien..)...and of course I upload photos to and edit text in Czech locality pages on MinDat.



Examples of some of my favorite specimens collected in 2009 and 2010:



Field expeditions photos (me and my family):



The examples of Czech wild nature photographed on the mineral localities



So any questions about localities where I have been or if You see some evident mistake in mineral identification, please send me an email.

Thanks for Your visit and enjoy my photos!

Aleš.
