Wellcome fellow hunters!
Just a few info about me and my minerals. I was born 1974. I started collecting in 1983. I was really active till the communism fell down in 1989. Then I moved my interests to everything else than minerals. But I was dusting the specimens... And now I am active rockhound from 2005 again.
I live in Prague, Czech Republic. Now I collect just specimens that I found myself (or my family or friends). So mostly I have Czech, Moravian and Silesian minerals (Czech Republic).
The most frequently I go around Prague (Pribram, Vrancice, Trenice) and to south-west Bohemia (Stribro..). There is only one sad thing about my collection, you can find something to match the classical specimens from those famous sites only rarely nowadays. But, your hapiness is so great when you find something like the museum specimens!
I take my photos with Canon EOS 400D plus two lenses: CANON MP-E 65mm f/2.8 1-5x lens or CANON EF 100/2.8 MACRO USM. I do use photo stacking with Helicon Focus for MAC.
So any questions about localities where I have been or if You see some evident mistake in mineral identification, please send me email.
Thanks for visit and enjoy the rocks!

Skaly, Rýmařov, Moravia-Silesia Region, Moravia (Mähren; Maehren), Czech Republic
Crystal size 3mm. Very atypical and rare blue beryl (color of forget-me-not flower). Specimen was etched with HCl, calcite is gone, quartz on surface remains. In this locality all the beryls are this peculiar color (Fe and Mg rich). The specimens (typical size of crystal under 10mm) can be found after hours of spliting very hard matrix - quartz ...

Slipfontein, Brits District, Western Bushveld Complex, Northwest Province, South Africa
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 ...

Ales Tomek'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.
Ales Tomek'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).
