The man behind the Rock'

My name is Tamás Pásztor, a Hungarian lad admittedly addicted to minerals.

I was born in 1989 and developed my adoration towards minerals around the age of 4 or 5 when on a family vacation I’ve seen the first mineral exhibition of my life in Gyöngyös, Hungary. Staring at the flashing colors of precious opals my legs immediately rooted into the museum’s floor and I was hooked for life. As a child I always stared at the ground in search for something shiny, I developed the love of nature through family trips – for which I’ll always be grateful to my parents - and I consumed every book about minerals I could touch even before I learnt how to read. After primary school I lost touch with rocks but it was reignited in my university years and at the age of 27 I decided to do something about my long suppressed passion - so here we are!

Why does this page exist? It’s a commemoration. It is to eternalize memories, friends, nice glittering pebbles and to share this passion with you. I started it to make it big then I realized that I just want to have fun and make you to have fun at the same time. This is what makes life worthy so.. Enjoy! 😊

(Remark: as I'm not a geologist, nor a mineralogist please feel free to send me your thoughts, criticism about my Blog articles if you realize mistakes. Thanks!)
