ABOUT ME
I started collecting Desert Glass and Pseudomorphs from the White Desert when living in Egypt from 1997 to 2002.
Visit also the "White Desert Egypt" page with many amazing pictures of this unique and beautiful place.
I discovered Meteorites some years ago and was immediately amazed by those treasures from space. On this website I'm offering only unique and genuine pieces from my own collection or purchased from trustful sources and other IMCA members.
Between 2011 and 2014 I was working and living in Pristina, Kosovo and discovered the beautiful world of minerals originating from the well known "Trepca" mine. You will find a selection of those amazing minerals on this website as well.
