Mineral collecting

During the vacations in America I started collecting minerals and fossils. During the first holidays, finding a nice specimen was just having luck in one of the outcrops along the road. The last year however, I bought the book rockhounding which showed me the exact locations where to find what. Most if not all of the minerals I have collected originate from the States. Several others I found in Germany, France and Spain during my fieldwork.
