Hi minernautes!
My name is M ª Jesús and I am a collector of southern Spain.
I have over 15 years in collecting minerals and write in Spanish FMF since 2008, but so far I have not dared to sign up for the English translation.
Sorry for my English, I'm really bad with languages.
I hope to understand all the messages you write here they are really interesting.
Kisses to all.

Even you are new, but 15years are not that new. I only have over 2 years.
it doesn't matter with English, we both are bad in English since our first languages are not English.

Hi,
15 years!? I am collecting now for 10, if i'm correct.
By the way: never ever start a conversation or a post with appologising that your are not verry good with that language. To be honest, I'm not that good either!
Mark

Thanks for the welcome!
Yes, I started collecting at 9 years old and since then I have not stopped it. Currently I have 28 years, so you see, step by step a lifetime devoted to minerals.
I started collecting miniatures and systematic in size 4x4, but I have gradually been expanding the library and now I have more than 2000 pieces, divided into cabinet, systematics of size 4x4, micromounts and some small secondary collections: gems, twins and tourmalines.
The vast majority of my pieces have been collected by me or exchanged with other collectors, although I have bought some pieces, mainly those that are from outside Spain.
If you are interested, I have part of my collection photographed and uploaded to the forum Tuplaneta on the link below.
https://www.tuplaneta.es/cpg1413/index.php?cat=10015
It are only some of them, because I have no time to photograph everything, but gradually they will complete.
Add a couple of pictures of parts of my collection, hope you like it.

Welcome!!
English is my native language, and I'm not so good at it. Your English is much better than my Spanish ;=)
Your minerals are quite nice, and particularly I like the Fluorite from the Emilio Mine.

Bienvenido!
Especially welcome to you! There are few people who have had a life long interest and there are much fewer women colelcting minerals then men, strangely enough!
I am also a lucky one who have had the pleasure to collect mineral since childhood!
Thank you for posting nice photographs of your lovely minerals!
Best regards
Peter

Welcome,
Don't worry for your English. It is not my native language either & your have been a mineral collector for much longer as I.
I hope you'll enjoy talking about rocks with us.

Welcome to the Forum!!! As for your command of the English language, Non perspirado, many of us are fluent en Espanol. Your minerals speak for themselves. I particularly like the little purple octahedral fluorite.
Again welcome, and we all look forward to many more posts from you.
Ed in Kingman

Thank you for also posting personal photographs which I appreciate very much.
From museums, mineral show and as a young collector reading! Very nice. I myself have very very few images of collecting or myself at young age but very interesting to see others! Nice mine and outcrop photo!
