Alfredo Petrov...

Alfredo Petrov is a geologist who spends his time hunting for mineral specimens, researching new mineral localities, publishing articles on mineral localities, translating mineralogical literature and guiding tours to collecting sites. He has hammered on rocks in Argentina, Belize, Bohemia, Bolivia, California, Chile, England, Eritrea, Ethiopia, France, Germany, Hong Kong, Idaho, Japan, Kenya, Macau, Malta, Mexico, Michigan, New Jersey, New York, Northwest Territories, Ontario, Paraguay, Peru, Philippines, Quebec, Spain, Utah and Washington, and looks forward to trying lots of other new sites. He also has an interest in cacti, fungi, other strange food plants, astronomy and lots more aspects of Nature. When he isn’t working, he likes to sit in the shade with a glass of sangiovese and a good science fiction novel; and once in a while tries, yet again unsuccessfully, to get his partner Frank to try more exotic sushi...
