Hello, my name is Antonio Nazario. I am a 23yr old mineral collector located in FL, USA. I've been collecting since 2012. My collecting focus is worldwide fluorites and thumbnail minerals, but I have a wide assortment of minerals. I'll be sharing my collection here and hope you'll enjoy them.

Welcome to our community, Antonio!
I just love the first specimens you posted, you have a keen eye for aesthetics, I would consider the Indian fluorite/quartz combo and the Yaogangxian piece as perfect little competition specimens! I hope we will see a lot more from your collection!
Best regards
Tobi
