My name is Dario Cericola. I'm an Italian chemist working in Switzerland, and clearly a mineral collector since I was a kid in the nineties! Areas where I mostly collect minerals are old mines in Trentino - Italy, basalt occurrences in Veneto - Italy for zeolites, several areas in the Appennini - Italy, and Grube Clara in the Black Forest - Germany, but always trying to go for new localities. I'm interested in all kinds of crystallized mineral although my preferences go to secondary and uncommon minerals and zeolites from the MM size upwards. My interest in photography is strongly linked to minerals, I'm focused on microphotography and always trying to improve my technique (but I am not a professional!).

I'm very open to exchange minerals, therefore if you are interested you can get my list here: trade list

Here is a little project I'm working on:

Big calcite cavity.
	Belorechenskoe (Belorechenskoye; Dakhovskoe; Belaya Rechka) deposit, Adygea (Adygeya) Republic, Northern Caucasus Region, Russia It's me in a rather big (biggest one in this deposit) cavity, walls covered with calcite crystals up to 30 cm. It is located in adit #3, the most rich with mineral veins and the most popular among visitors, of the remaining adits at this locality. The calcite crystals are tough and can be used as steps to climb up. Mindat.org Photo of the Day - 3rd Jun 2012

Photo shows part of the cluster. There were ten crystals in the cluster all larger than 3 meters long. Weight was estimated to about 200 metric tons, but that amount was undoubtedly an exaggeration.
