Posted: Jul 01, 2013 15:36 Post subject: Question regarding Portuguese minerals |
|
|
Hello,
Is there someone here from Portugal or who is experienced with Portuguese minerals?
Could you please tell me from your experience which are the representative Portuguese minerals, worth collecting? I ask because I’m going to go to Portugal this month and I will like to get some insight. I’m always trying to prepare myself a little bit when travelling abroad, who knows?
Any advice regarding places to visit in Portugal for a mineral collector?
From what I know Portugal is a rich country from the mineralogical point of view with a complex geology albeit it’s relative small size. I know about the fluorapatite, wolframite and arsenopyrite from Panasqueira mine.
Thank you in advance! |

Hallo David,
I visit in the 90ties several times Portugal and searched for minerals. It is a beautiful country with friendly people. There were a lot of possibilities for self collecting. I don't know how the situation is to day.
I'll send you private a small list of locality names. I hope that with these names and Mindat or other mineral sites you can find some information about the minerals and the local situation.
