PostPosted: Dec 02, 2016 22:12    Post subject: Presentation of new members - Tony Huerta from Canada  

Hi,

I am from Canada. I am studying mineralogy and find it's very interesting.

I'm new to this field. I got interested in these because of my father who took me outdoors for trekking and mountain climbing.

I hope I can gain a lot of knowledge from this forum.

Glad to be accepted to the forum.

Thank you.

PostPosted: Dec 27, 2016 06:35    Post subject: Presentation of new members - Finally Joined (Graham Harrison from Cape Town)  

Hi all, after many years of scooting through the site I have finally decided to do the proper thing and register. My interests are predominantly Tsumeb, the Kalahari Manganese Fields as well as the pegmatites of the Northern Cape.
Living in Cape Town provides the odd opportunity to get into the field and collect - to this end I will be happy to share some of these adventures as they happen.
Kind regards,
Graham Harrison

Hi Graham, welcome to the Forum!
You have the luck of living in a very interesting country on a mineralogical and (let me add it) gemmological point of view. South Africa is well-known for its diamond mines and for many other mineralogical localities. I hope you enjoy making us "virtually" participating to your mineralogical trips.
Greetings from Italy by Riccardo.

PostPosted: Apr 06, 2017 00:28    Post subject: Presentation of new members - Firmo Espinar, living now in Medellín, Colombia  

Hi dear FMF family.

I come from the Spanish fórum, and really have discovered his brother forum a few months ago.

I´m Spanish but living now in Medellín, Antioquia, Colombia. Perhaps because this circumstance I´ve registered in the international English fórum.

I have a modest collection of Spanish minerals usually, now increasing with nice Colombian specimens.

Very interesting the topics around the world and also meet new people.

Best regards.

Firmo Espinar.

Hello,

Thanks very much Pierre, Dr. Don Lum and Philippe.

As you say I´ll try to show you my dear minerals.

Now I can add my mining family, jajaja, looking for hemimorphite and azurite in Almería, Andalucía, Spain.

Regards everyone.

PostPosted: Aug 17, 2017 03:24    Post subject: Presentation of new members - Alex, original from Belgium, but recently moved to Japan  

My name is Alex, 34, originally from Belgium, but recently moved to Japan.
I started to get interested in minerals, so last week I went searching a few spots around Nagoya. I came back with a handfull of quartz, some aspidolith and a few rocks containing mica. Next week I will go to a spot to find some topaz.

I also have some tools to polish them.

I'm new to geology, so I hope this forum can help me to get started.
I was also wondering if there are any maps or books to locate some prospecting places.

Greetings,
Alex
