My name is Guillermo Aguilar Mendez, Chemical'm a scientist, born in Cuba 49 years ago, but I live in Chile for chemical diez.Como had my first contact with the mineralogy as a student, when as part of a practical participated, along with other classmates, the geological survey of the Sierra del Escambray in my province. At that time, we collected the first samples and conducted the first analysis. But there was all the samples were delivered, the analysis classified and never knew the results. After graduation, I devoted myself to the teaching of Physical Chemistry and I had more to do with Organic Chemistry mineralogía.Pero with a year ago, while teaching chemistry at my high school students, to achieve the unity of the rocks and soils is not me think of anything better we started to gather some stones and classify rocks and minerals. The idea caught on, and one day I found a huge amount of rocks of different colors, shapes and sizes gathered in yards, creeks and valleys of Huechuraba. At that moment I realized that to sort those things had to get to school, and so my interest grew again in the colors and shapes of nature inorganic. That ignited a more interesting when at the time, appeared in Chile the first signs of Salvat collection of minerals, which I bought every week since then, this, together with some other samples up my little collection, which I can criticize constructively in a momento.Como result I am become novice and amateur collector, whose interest in the minerals is the collection, simple possession of a sample, only to delight, from time to time, by contemplating submissive and passive, the variety and richness of forms and colors that offers inorganic nature of this planet.
