ABOUT ME

Who am I?

My name is Carles Carol Pla, I was born and actually live in Sabadell (a town 20 km from Barcelona)

I'm collecting minerals since 1985; at almost the same time my grandfather bought me my first computer, an Amstrad CPC 464.

The confluence of this interest and the gift of the computer evolved naturally into my study of computer science. Now, I am Superior Computer Engineer (UAB - Universitat Autónoma de Barcelona) and have a Master in e-Business (La Salle, Barcelona).

From this explosive mixture nothing good could come... Obviously, the final result was MineralTown.com.



About MineralTown.com


I thought that someday a web site where one could easily find all kinds of information related to mineral collecting and minerals could be a possibility; a web site where people could discover and learn about mineralogy through reading interesting articles and viewing spectacular picture galleries. MineralTown.com is my dream realized. It exists to promote the hobbies of mineralogy and mineral colleting worldwide, for people of all ages.


So if you are a mineral collector, geologist or jeweler and you have an interesting article or content that you would like to share, send it and I'll publish on MineralTown.com. People around the world will read it.

As I've said, the purpose of MineralTown.com is promoting the hobbies of mineralogy and mineral collecting. To this end I would like it to remain a free access website.
