Note about this website by Thomas P. Moore in What's New in the Mineral World? Mineralogical Record May 22, 2010.

 

"The town of Oviedo in the Cantabrian Mountains of northern Spain is home to 26-year-old Juan Fernandez Buelga, now finishing up a degree in geology even while running his Spanish Minerals website (www.spanishminerals.com). On this site you can find a selection of fine Spanish pieces, some of them self-collected by Buelga, some from old Spanish collections. I recommend that you visit the site and admire specimens from the north-coastal provinces of Asturias and Cantabria, as well as others from regions of Spain farther south. You will see some familiar things, such as lilac-colored, transparent fluorite crystals on bladed white barite from Berbes and gemmy orange sphalerites from Picos de Europa, but there are less common items as well. For example, Buelga shows off a superb galena from the Pb-Zn mines of Picos de Europa: this is from his own collection and not for sale, but a glowing miniature of translucent lime-green prehnite from the Oficarsa quarry, Carchelejo, Jaén, is for sale (HQLP alert—the prehnite, pictured below, asks only $80, and there's a whole flat of others where this one came from). Entire collections, contemporary suites, and wholesale specimen lots, all from Spain and Portugal, are also available on the Spanish Minerals site."
