| I agree to both of Jordi's points - welcome (from the UK) and nice fluorites. Any chance of some larger photos in the future, so we can see the detail? |

Thanks everybody,
You're right these photos are too small, I will check it in my next post.
You can also have a look to my website for larger pictures but I did not manage to include a link? any solution?
And by the way, I would appreciate any comment to improve this website (php and mysql database). You can create an account to test functionalities. At least two problems : no link and French interface only. |

Sure, you can / should read A general guide for using the Forum with some rules and tips specially the point 2:
2.-) If you want to add a link to a particular point within another Topic on the forum you can copy the link to the particular point of interest and include it in your text. To see how follow this link
The forum does allow you to type in direct links to web page on the following web sites: FMF, FMF Gallery, Mindat, WebMineral, Mineralienatlas.de, Strahlen.org, strahlenfoundation.com, RRUFF-IMA project, Mineralogical Record, Rock&Minerals, MTI, Minercat (Grupo Mineralógico Catalán), Minval (Societat Valenciana de Mineralogía), Wikipedia, Fabre Minerals, Minerales.info
For links to other web pages outside the forum you should use the same method when writing them as that used when adding email addresses.
For example: https://www.foro-minerales.com/forum/index.php, is a link within this forum so can be typed in directly, but had it been an external link you would have had to have added it as:
http(:)//www(.)foro(-)minerales(.)com/forum/index(.)php |

Hi Mathieu!
A warm warm welcome from your neighbouring country and, as we call each other, your "cousin" country, Italy! Of course congratulations for the photos, but I already know France has many interesting mines!
Greetings by Riccardo.

Hi,
Thanks for this advice. I will have a look at this guide.
For the links to my website where you can see more pictures (and enlarge them)
https://collection.mineraux.free.fr/visite/galerie.php
https://collection.mineraux.free.fr/
(links normalized by FMF)
Once again, let me know (PM or anyway) if you have idea to improve it. It is supposed to be a way to manage a mineral collection and share some specimens on the web. My main difficulty is to take pictures of each specimen, let's say it will be an occupation when I am too old to play the crystal hunter...

Welcome to the Forum Mathieu.
You make a good point when you say photographing your collection will become your occupation when you are too old to go out collecting. However, I suggest you keep at it a little at a time, because, if you wait, it will become too daunting a task to undertake.
I visited your website and your photos are above average in quality, so you have a good start. Hope to see more of your collection in the future.
Regards,
Michael |

Hi,
I know it is a very good advice but it is difficult to find time. I do my best to clean and store in flats each discovery with correct labels and listing on my computer. Even the minerals I do not keep in collection are stored in flats for exchanges... I still have two or 3 discoveries that had not been unpacked and cleaned for 3 years, so some more work to do... For the pictures I take at least a picture of each batch for the inventory but there is a lot of work to do before having a correct photo of each specimen.

I have been a long time lurker on these forums but have finally decided to register on these forums.
I have been collecting since the early 2000's and I acquire and self-collect specimens. My passion and interest for minerals began with trips to Europe and also by visiting various museums.
I have an interest in both the scientific aspect of minerals and on just the general nature of minerals themselves. I have relatives and friends who were Geologists , Mineralogists , Gemologists and they have helped me over the years to nurture and assist with my hobby. Some of my first self-collected specimens were Green microcalcite found in various vugs in limestone boulders in my younger years. I have returned to the hobby and my passion earlier this year after several years on hold.
I collect world-wide minerals and prefer to specialize in Silver/Platinum and also Gold Minerals. I also prefer minerals from Russia/China and Canada (more specifically Ontario/Quebec). If a specimen strikes my fancy I will always consider it.
I will be getting in photography of my collection soon and I hope to share my collection which has grown enormously with the community. I look forward to posting and contributing to the community and to also meeting new members that I have not already met. |
