– Exchange of mineral specimens
From Italy – : Hello to all.
I am a collector of minerals and I live in Tuscany, Italy.
I have been collecting minerals for over 30 years and I have many interesting samples, especially Italian ones, that I can
exchange.I have always been fascinated by the minerals of Lavrion. I own a few pieces, but not many.
If some Greek collector is interested in exchanging, get in touch with me.I like all minerals, but I prefer those that are
visible to the naked eye, also because as I am not very young anymore, my vision is getting worse.
The samples I have available for exchange are:
Calcite xxls on matrix - Montagnola senese - Tuscany Quartz on marble - xxls on matrix - Montagnola senese -
Tuscany - Italy
Analcime - with or without natrolite - Murlo - Si - Tuscany Preheenite - xxls in serpentinite - Murlo - Tuscany - Italy -
Septarie - with barite xxls - Scorgiano - Si - Tuscany Calcedony - massive various colours - Canneto - Pi - Tuscany – Italy
and many more.
See my site : WWW.mineralsnblues.wordpress.com - Let me know if you are interested

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.
ATLAS VON MINERALIEN VON LAVRION
-Lavrion (Lavreotiki) ist eines der besten "Laboratorien" der Mineralogie der Erde. Seine Geschichte ist in
der Antike verloren und es gibt Tausende von Sammlern und zahlreiche Museen, die Proben von Lavrion
haben. Neue Mineralien werden der bekannten Liste der Mineralien aus Lavrion hinzugefügt. Die Idee
ist, schöne Bilder von Lavrion-Mineralien auf die Stelle Webseite von IACLM (auf facebook) hochzuladen ,
https://www.facebook.com/groups/115645832341118/ ,und nach der Sammlung der bekannten Lavrion-
Mineralien glauben wir, dass es beispielsweise einem internationalen Verleger vorgeschlagen werden
kann , Elsevier, Springer-Verlag GmbH, etc., um eine monumentale wissenschaftliche Arbeit in der
Mineralogie zu finanzieren und zu veröffentlichen: Die dargestellten ATLAS OF LAVRION MINERALS, die
sicherlich ein Bestseller weltweit werden wird. Dieses Projekt umfasst auch die Namen aller Sammler,
Museen, Bildungsinstitute, Organisationen etc., die mit exzellenten Qualitätsfotos von ihrer Sammlung
bis zum Standort der International Association of Collectors of Minerals von Lavrion ( IACLM) beitragen
werden. Mit diesem Denken kannst du weiterhin Mineralfotos von Lavrion-Exemplaren mit genauer
Beschreibung und Dimensionen hochladen. So kann jeder dem Weg des ersten der beiden von uns
angekündigten Projekte folgen. Der Traum wird wahr, wenn jeder hilft.

Wilensky, New York’s Leading Rare Mineral Gallery, Launches an Exhibition Featuring Works by
Nicolai Medvedev
By
Olga Gonzalez , Pietra PR
Tel. +1 (212) 913-9761 , info@pietrapr.com
-Stuart and Donna Wilensky, internationally renowned fine mineral collectors and dealers,
launch their first gallery exhibition. Located in Chelsea, Wilensky Fine Minerals features rare
natural art within the breadth of stunning neighborhood galleries. A celebration of stones, the
Wilensky gallery has dedicated its first show to intarsia, or pietre dure, the art of stone inlay.
Intarsia involves the cutting and fitting together of semi-precious and decorative stones,
alongside marble, and has a centuries-long history of decorating objects such as tabletops,
facades, and furniture. Medvedev: Master of Intarsia, explores the work of award-winning
master craftsman, Nicolai Medvedev.
-Born and raised in the Republic of Turkmenistan, Medvedev was influenced by a cross-section
of eastern and western art, beginning his career as a painter. After a trip to St. Petersburg in
the 1970’s, Nicolai was inspired by examples of intarsia seen in great collections, and
dedicated his studies to excelling in the technical skills and tools needed to create stone inlay
art objects. Beginning with pendants, Medvedev juxtaposed contrasting materials, such as lapis
lazuli, jasper, and malachite, graduating to a signature look of developing intricate boxes with
unusual materials, such as rare malachite stalactite cross sections, dinosaur bone, precious
opal, and gold-in-quartz. The “Garden Box,” featured in the show, took 2.5 years to finish, and
is assembled from over 3,600 decorative stones. As much attention is paid to the inside of
boxes, with elaborate intarsia designs showcased from all angles. The Master of Intarsia
exhibition features works by Nicolai Medvedev, including a picture frame, sixteen intarsia
boxes, and a malachite stalactite specimen.
-Medvedev says, “I hope that these art objects I have created will be regarded as symbolizing
nature’s beauty, made from timeless materials for generations to admire.” Regarding the
partnership with Wilensky, he says, “It is important that the world sees and appreciates stone
inlay through a modern lens; it isn’t just an ancient technique to be enjoyed by museum goers.
It is art to be appreciated and collected in the here and now. The Wilensky gallery is a
beautiful space where viewers have an appreciation for stones, minerals, and natural beauty.
Throughout the winter, I hope these bright, colorful boxes bring joy and brightness to the city
of New York, and to all those who enjoy art nearby.”
-Stuart Wilensky was introduced to Nicolai Medvedev through a close mutual friend, Irv Brown,
President, Great Rocks Inc. During a conversation at the Denver Gem & Mineral Show, the idea
for a solo exhibition was proposed and enthusiastically accepted. A few weeks later, Brown
flew to film an interview with Medvedev, which will be running in the gallery for the duration
of the show.

Nicolai Medvedev. Materials include :

stalactites, malachite stalactites, malachite
For the past 30 years, I have admired

Nicolai’s brilliantly colored and meticulously
crafted intarsia boxes. During his two and
half year exhibition at the Smithsonian, I had
envisioned that someday we could do a
similar display in New York. Twenty-five
years later, this vision has become reality.
A family business, Stuart and Donna Wilensky have been collecting and selling fine and rare
minerals for three decades. Their sons, Troy and Connor, are also a part of the family business,
and together all have conceptualized, designed and procured an exceptional collection of
rotating rare gem and mineral species for the space, which opened on March 1st, 2018 to
collectors and the public.
Stuart Wilensky, President of Wilensky Fine Minerals, says, “For the past thirty years, I have
admired Nicolai’s brilliantly colored and meticulously crafted intarsia boxes. During his two and
half year exhibition (1991-1993) at the Smithsonian, I had envisioned that someday we could
do a similar display in New York. Twenty-five years later, this vision has become reality. It is
with great pleasure that we were chosen by a master of his art, Nicolai Medvedev, to display a
collection of his most accomplished examples of intarsia.”
Medvedev: Master of Intarsia, runs through February 28th, 2019, Monday through Saturday,
from 11:00 AM-6:00 PM at the Wilensky Gallery at 173 10th Avenue, New York, NY, 10011. For
