I live near Lisbon, Portugal, in the south bank of Tagus River. Such is not a good place for rockhounding as all the best mineral localities are relatively far.
My main interest are Portuguese minerals.
My best reward is to find a different mineral to add to an old paragenesis.
I collect almost everything but I have a special sympathy for phosphates. Mineral twins and pseudomorphs are always welcome home. Feldspar group is a passion.
Definitely I don’t like to swap minerals. However I have some good friends around the world to whom I send unexpected packages with some self collected rocks. From time to time someone makes my day too... and by doing so and without any kind of stress we all stay a little bit more happy.
I like field trips, leaving home early in the morning, to stop for a coffee…
