We have noticed that the last 25-30 years there was
an increasing interest in minerals and fossils from
Greece.This phenomenon is due to an increasing
number of mineral and fossil passionists who are
looking for specimens both in the Greek mainland
and the Greek Islands surrounding the Country. We
have also noticed that beside for well crystallized
mineral specimens and well preserved fossils , there
is a great interest for cutting material suitable for
making jewellery. So the hobby is advancing ahead !
In fact we have a restart , as it is well and widely
known that the Ancient Greeks has a considerable
knowledge on minerals , rocks and precious metals
ahead in their Time ( See Peri Lithon , by
Theophrastos On mining complex at Lavrion and
so on) as well as on their uses , cut and polishing as it
is witnessed by the Ancient Greek findings all over
the area centered in Greece (e.g. Statues and other
Sculpture Art , microglyptography , painting , Gold
and Silver jewellery , gold and silver coins ) which
enrich not only Museums in Greece but also
Museums in various Countries around the World.
Happy collecting Year 2013 !

On 27
th
February 2013 the official presentation of pounv took place in Piraeus , Greece. It is a
bottle of excellent quality Greek wine (Grenage Rouge) called pounv (ruby) offered along with a
ruby facetted gemstone in a black velvet pough. The pounv is the result of team work based on
Geology (Mineralogy) and Biology (Enology) , work done by Prof. Elias Nerantzis , Industry Microbiologist,
Ph.D. , Athens Technical Institute , Department of Enology and Dimitris G. Minatidis , M.Sc. , Geologist-
Geochemist , Editor of ORYKTOLOGIKA NEA-NEWS ON MINERALS . Many thanks to qtoupys-Design
Company of Evanghelia Minatidou for part sponsorship , Giota Karadima for designing the various labels ,
Spyros Tritsarolis for technical support and Venue Mtkp ys0ost and all staff there.
The original thought was that everything man uses nowadays either is mined or is clultivated and
hence we combined knowledge to make a product that is the combination of GEOLOGY (Mineralogy)
(exploring and mining the Earth ) and BIOLOGY (Enology) (Cultivation ) . pounv was warmly
accepted in the Market as a valuable and pleasant gift. We owe a lasting debt of gratitude to Mother
Earth who create the rubies and provide the vineyards and the grapes. What we simply did was just to
apply our knowledge and create a product coming directly from the Earth.

OPYKTOAOIIKA NEA-NEWS ON MINERALS - 6 - Vol 28 - No 163 - 2013

Professor Elias Nerantzis addressing to the audience the History of wine since the Antiquity , the
secrets in making wines and explaining step-by- step the process followed in making the pounv

Therassia, also known as Thirassa ( Hellenic : Oqooo), is an island in the volcanic island group of
Santorini in the Greek Cyclades. It lies north-west of Nea Kameni, a small island formed in recent
centuries by volcanic activity and thus marking the centre of the island group. Therassia is the second
largest island of the group, the largest by far being Thera.Thera and Therassia were separated by the
Thera eruption.
