E. Barbier

I was born in 1992 and live in France. I have an interest in all types of minerals, without restricting myself to any particular mineral group or locality.

My collection is built first and foremost on personal appeal. What attracts me to a specimen is its colours, its shape, its lustre, as well as the natural arrangement of its crystals and the harmony they create. Every specimen has its own unique character, and it is this individuality that guides my choices.

I mainly collect small-sized specimens, generally ranging from 4 to 7 cm. This size allows me to appreciate the finest details of each piece while maintaining a varied, balanced collection that is easy to display.

Through this passion, my main aim is to discover the richness and diversity of the mineral world, while sharing with fellow collectors the sense of wonder inspired by these treasures of nature.
