Abstract

This article is an interview with Christophe Gobin, a mineral collector and dealer. Gobin's father, Christian, started collecting minerals in Morocco and eventually became a full-time dealer. Christophe and his brother, Brice, joined their father in the business and continued it after his passing. Gobin discusses the changing market for minerals, noting that they are undervalued compared to other collectibles. He also emphasizes the uniqueness and aesthetic beauty of minerals, and encourages collectors to continue pursuing their passion. The article includes photos of Gobin and some of the specimens in his collection. [Extracted from the article]
