HI all im a Geotechnologist from Sudbury Ontario Canada....
I have 2 diplomas in Geotechnology at the college level and ive done 1 year of University which i plan on continuing on next year when the money allows it...
Anyways i also have a rock collection with fossils (but thats for another forum)... Ive personally collected alot of Minerals from across Canada and ive bought a fair share myself from street vendors and official dealers...
Currently i work as part of a team that does Geophysical IP and MT surveys and i have the oppourtunity to travel far and wide. Even though i have a small collection 50-60 specimens i can say it is quite diverse...
Currently iam working in finland and am working on adding to my collection... I was given a nice piece of core with sphalerite/Chalcopyrite in Grano-diorite....
I have creeped alot of the posts on the forum and iam happy to see people who know what they are talking about posting on the forum... I hope to learn more about minerals here and add to my overall knowledge.... |

Hi Snowman, I am also living in the Sudbury area and have just recently joined the forum. If you'd like to get in touch sometime when you are back in Sudbury, you can PM me.

Joseph, as Snownman can't use PM yet, why don't you PM him and continue this exchange in private?
Welcome to FMF, Snowman. I hope you have a lot of fun here and we look forward to seeing more images from your collection.
