|
|
Hi everybody! my name is Luis Domínguez I'm from Mexico, I am a student of Industrial Chemestry (in spanish Químico Industrial) I have five years collecting minerals and I specially like mexican minerals so I start my participation in this forum with some photos of my collection I hope you like it.
I am not an expert but I hope I can help someone with my limited knowledge of mexican mineralogy.
Well, I'm not really good with my english but I will try to study more :-)
Greetings from Mexico!

Nice specimens Luis. The first garnet specimen almost looks "gemmy" rather then the more common opaque look. Always loved the citrine from Charcas, I am still looking for one. Thanks for posting the quartz from Real del Monte, Hidalgo. We do not often see specimens from that very old historical district of Pachuca/Real del Monte where Bartolome de Medina invented the patio process to facilitate the extraction of silver.
Keep them coming.
Cheers
Jean

Thank guys I appreciate your comments, actually I'm not good taking pictures but I'm doing the best that I can :-)
These garnets are really good as Jean said most of these garnets are not gemmy.
well, I'll post more photos of my collection including a photo of San Juan mine (near to Real del Monte), Pachuca, Hidalgo to supplement with something more about this ancient site.

Hi Luís !
In several of your photos above the locality and the specimen size are missing. Please, take note that for the FMF Gallery to work properly all the pictures posted in this thread, without exception, must show the species' name, the locality and the size, in this order.
If you provide those details I will add the missing data for you.
Thanks,
_______________

Luis, Welcome, and thanks for including the San Juan mine photo with your specimens. Such photos are nice to see occasionally since they can relay specimen and collecting environments.
