Hi,Fellow Collectors,
I have been collecting minerals and crystals for about 40 years. I enjoy field collecting, attending mineral shows and visiting museums. Like most other collectors I like colorful minerals but specialize in fluorite, quartz scepters, Italian minerals and minerals from the United States and classic East Coast United States locations (however, I can not resist a bargain).
Most of the photos I will be posting are in my personal collection. I will also post specimens from museums I visit.
I enjoy trading "good minerals for good minerals" and enjoy talking with other collectors. For the past 13 years I have contributed reports to the "Whats New in Minerals" column for that fine magazine "The Mineralogical Record."
I can be emailed at ljpolit@aol.com
Best wishes and good hunting.
Joe

Joseph Polityka'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.
Joseph Polityka'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).
