Olá people :-)
I am a collector of minerals that lives in the city of Barreiro close to Lisbon - Portugal.
I am an African white of Angola with 50 years, I am married and I have two daughters and a grandson.
I don't have any graduation of Doctor and much less of Geology or Mineralogy :-) but I discuss with who is formed by passion to the Mineralogy. The life took me for the direction of Customs Police.
My interest with Mineralogy began in 1972 when I was at school ( Liceu Paulo Dias de Novais ) in Luanda, Angola. It was near of Instituto de Geologia e Minas and at that time I was a frequent visitor.
The first specimen given to me was a small Quartz crystal (that I keep in my collection) which at that time fascinates me and I consider as a strong incentive to initiate my mineral collection.
I consider myself a systematic collector as I have interest in all mineral groups of the World. I have preference for minerals with a good size and well crystallized.
I have preference for local specimens from national quarries and mines and also I have a “vicious” for outside works.
I have various available specimens to change but my main interest is changing information and having friends with the same interests.
