Seller's Story

Rolando's Minerals is a part-time minerals dealership based near Turin in northern Italy. I am a collector of "affordable" aesthetic and systematic yet aesthetic specimens. My story is a common one; over the years, specimens get into the collection, and others do get out, and these last ones go into boxes and gather dust. Sometimes it happens that to buy those particular specimens, you have to buy a bunch of other specimens, as it happens that while you enjoy your holidays in exotic countries (well known to us collectors), you can't resist walking around and shopping for some specimens here and there. I never buy in quantity but rather try to select those few that say something to me. The bottom line is that in my auction you will see the types of specimens I like and hope you will share my liking for some of them.
