 Posted: Oct 04, 2020 15:27 Post subject: Collection of Sante Celiberti |
|
|
Hello.
I opened this new thread to share the section of my collection dedicated to minerals around the world.
As for the method to be followed in the publication, I was tempted to choose the regional one, as I'm doing on my other thread A mineralogical trip through Italy by Sante Celiberti, but that would have taken more time than I can afford.
Instead, I will follow the random order of display in my cabinets.
First of all, I would like to complete the topic of Alpine minerals (with which I opened my thread of Italian minerals) with some non-Italian Alpine specimens.
Hoping this thread finds the same warm welcome as A mineralogical trip through Italy by Sante Celiberti, I offer my best greetings.
Sante

Thank you very much, Philippe. I appreciate your kind comment.
I really invested a lot of energy in assembling the Alpine section of my collection which is second only to the Tuscan one; but I'm rewarded every day by the charm of the individual specimens and the pleasure of two rich Alpine showcases.
Here two small miniatures.
Best regards.

Hi, Tobi. How are you?
Thank you for your kind comment.
As you know, I am also a fan of quartz. I have a few hundreds of different sizes.
