Some philosophical notes on mineral collecting
I am a micromounter, so a fair bit of this is colored by my view of
mineral collecting in the way that I do it as a micromounter.
However, minerals are minerals and collecting is collecting, so these
thoughts belong to the mineral collecting hobby as a whole, maybe
even collecting and hobbies in general. At least I think so.
- Why collect minerals
- Why collect micromounts
- Organizing a collection
- Money
- Mineral "tack"
- Books
- Friends
- Goals
- Keeping it fun
- A collection database
- Labels and identification
