Italian Minerals for Collectors

A website dedicated to advanced mineral collectors. Lot of specimens from all over the world but greatly dedicated to Italian mineralogy.

I am a mineral collector but also a rock-hunter ! I have been collecting rock from when I was 10 years old.

My area of interest is in pegmatite minerals from Isola Elba, Tuscany, Italy and probably this is the richest website of such kind of specimens !
