My name is Ricardo and I collect world wide zeolites with special focus on New Jersey, Iceland and Faeroes mineral locations.
I have others minerals collections: a small phosphate, arsenate and vanadate collection, a Panasqueira Mine mineral collection and a small aesthetic collection. I usually collect miniatures and small cabinets but for rare species and single crystals I have also thumbnails.

Ricardo Pimentel'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.
Ricardo Pimentel'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).
