My name is Stephen Callaghan and I am an Irish mineral collector. I have been interested in minerals for over a decade and have been an active collector for about 2 to 3 years. I am studying science in University College Dublin (U.C.D.) at the moment, I hope to get a degree in Geology, and possibly work as a mine Geologist in the future. Though with the way our economy is going, I am not sure if this will be possible.
My main interest are specimens which I have collected myself, how ever I do like to buy minerals (which I can't find) ever now and again. I am also quite interested in the mineral Wulfenite (and have yet to find an Irish example!!).

6 mm zoned spessartine crystal included in muscovite. The red-orange circle is probably poorer in Fe than the surrounding area of the crystal. Transparent crystals such as this one are rare at the locality.

Stephen Callaghan'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.
Stephen Callaghan'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).
