Hi Carlos,where did you collect and do you have accounts of some of your collecting outings? |
Pierre, Carlos has been incredibly active for years collecting specimens in southern Spain. Some of the stories are available in Spanish

Hi Carlos/James, do you have any links that I can follow to read of these exploits?

Hi Pierre
There is a Spanish site that I tend to use: (see if google translate works on it - since I read it in Spanish I have no idea if it is useful)
https://www.mtiblog.com/
Click on 'Localidades', then on a autonomous community (Carlos lives in 'Andalucia') then choose a mine from the list of mines in each Province (so look at 'Minas de .... Province' then a mine). For example the mine 'Mina Resuperferolítica' in 'Minas de Cordoba'. You can then see photos of minerals/the mine (click on the photos to see them). I hope that works for you.
;
The mines Carlos mentioned were:
Pyromorphite. San Andrés mine, Cordoba
Celestine. Puente tablas, Jaén
Prehnite. Oficarsa Quarry, Jaén [Cantera Oficarsa]
Siderite-Chalcostibite-Tetrahedrite. El Vagón mine, Granada
Wulfenite. Albuñuelas, Granada
I have seen other reports about those mines, but cannot recall where!
Or use the Spanish version of the FMF and search for a mine.
I hope that helps.
James

I have collected minerals because it is what I like to do. I have never taken a camera or publicity, I just did what I liked I tried to extract the best minerals possible. So I do not know where there are documents that verify what I have done in the world of minerals or worry me. I leave a link made by my fellow fatigue in some of my adventures.
regards
I have had to put a sign of admiration to let me post it.
mail.
mail.!google.!
I have deleted the link. If the administrators approve, I'll put it back.

For me it is very important to put the tunnel in the San Andres mine, but I do not care if people know it or not. If that were so, I would have taken care to make it known.
I wanted to put a link to the article that Juan Peña (my partner of mine for a while) made about the San Andres mine.
James sent you the link by pm to see if it can be published.
