Welcome!
I have been collecting minerals now for around 5 years, and I focus my attention on specimens from the The east coast of the USA and Canada with the majority being personally collected. I also keep an eye out for specimens from unusual and hard to visit localities not known for minerals.
My interests in geology/mineralogy are the geochemistry and genesis of greisens and LCT-type pegmatites as well as the geology and mineralogy of New England and Maritime Canada. My favorite mineral is cassiterite, with scheelite coming in close second. Currently, I am working on building a small collection of cassiterite from worldwide localities.
At this time, I am a college sophomore studying towards a B.S. in chemistry at Keene State College in Keene, New Hampshire. My goal is to eventually pursue graduate studies to obtain a Ph.D in organometallic chemistry.
I do not study geology to a large extent academically, but I enjoy learning about it obsessively as a very involved hobby.

Trumbull, Fairfield Co., Connecticut, USA
Though wolframite has been discredited as a species we still list it as such out of this collection. The Academy label is a little worse for wear but the other label is in very good condition. The ferberite psudo is 3.5 cm and there are several other incomplete crystals on the specimen. Ex-C.S. Bement specimen.

Jeremy Zolan'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.
Jeremy Zolan'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).
