Hello to all

Our collection is made up of about 1100 samples, aesthetic and micro, from all over the Tuscany region in Italy.
Being researchers, as well as collectors, many specimens are personal finds, while others are the result of exchanges and purchases.
Unfortunately, with the closure of quarries and mines and various restrictions, the research in recent decades has become very hard but nevertheless with a little luck it is still possible to find some good samples.
Here we show you some photos of our samples.

Hi, Diego.

A warm welcome to the Forum.
It's a pleasure to see another Tuscan collector in our community, as well as witnessing the handover from one generation to another. This gives hope for a future for collecting.
Best greetings to you and to your father from Gavorrano.

Hallo Diego and Paolo!
Here is another Italian collector of minerals and gemmologist, from Milano! So, a warm warm welcome by me too, waiting for better times and (hopefully) for having a meeting with you at the mineralogical bourses (if they ever take place again...).
Greetings by Riccardo.
