With luck this Saturday have time, I went to the store Oviedo José Ramón García to acquire this magnificent work on the Fluorite mining on my land.
Taking this opportunity, I took him to see his great collection, highlighting parts of Asturias, especially Fluorite from the various fields of Asturias, but without neglecting the other parts, a superb collection from my point of view, which reveals a great effort to gather all the cole ction worthy of a museum. I was speechless.
