ATLAS OF LAVRION MINERALS

Lavrion (Lavreotiki) is one of the Earth's best "Laboratories" of Mineralogy. Its history is lost in Antiquity and there are thousands of collectors and numerous Museums that have samples from Lavrion. New minerals are being added to the known list of mineral species from Lavrion. The idea is to upload beautiful images of Lavrion minerals to the site of IACLM in facebook, https://www.facebook.com/groups/115645832341118/

and after gathering the so-called Lavrion mineralogical species, we believe that it can be proposed to an International Publishing House, for example. Elsevier, Springer-Verlag GmbH, etc. to fund and publish a monumental scientific work in Mineralogy: The illustrated ATLAS OF LAVRION MINERALS which will surely become a best-seller worldwide.

This project will also include the names of all collectors, museums, educational institutes, organizations etc. that will contribute with excellent quality photographs from their collection to the site of the International Association of Collectors of Minerals of Lavrio. With this thinking you can continue to upload mineral photos of Lavrion specimens with exact description and dimensions. So everyone can follow the path of the first of the two projects we have announced.

The dream will come true if everyone helps.
