Dear All!
I just joined mindat after years of "just reading". I hope that can contribute some things and get in touch with other collector.
Here are some facts about me:
Collector since 2005
actively seeking for minerals in quarries and the fields
Collecting minerals from
- copper shale mining (Richelsdorf; Mansfeld)
- Minerals from Sachsen-Anhalt (Petersberg, Flechtingen), Vogtland (Saxony)
- Minerals from Eifel, Tuscany, Lazio, Venetia
- Slags
Interest in mineral swapping; looking for minerals from volcanic regions (comparable to Eifel-region), phosphates and arsenates, slags minerals.
Cheers,Markus

Welcome to Mindat! I happen to have some doubles in my slag collection from Lavrion, Greece that I would love to swap for other micro's. You can see this post I made a bit ago to see what I have to offer: https://www.mindat.org/mesg-654665.html
