| My Biography My name is Maziar Nazari. I am an agate collector from Iran, 33 years old and married. I have M Sc. in Economic Geology and teach in the both Universities of Polytechnics and Azad. I fell in love with agates when I was scholar of BS in Geology. During the last 14 years, I have had a long and varied interest in collecting, Nodular Agates, Thunder Eggs, Amethyst Geodes, Jaspers and Petrified Wood from all over Iran. Since 1988 I have spent much of my time involved in both field and my cutting and polishing workshop, that located in the backyard of my house. Latterly, my particular interests have concentrated on introduce agate, geode and jaspers of Iran, to the all those interested, over the world. There are a lot of agate fields in Iran, but no scientific or commercial activities have been done for systematic exploitation on them. Every year, I make several field trips to these areas collecting agates and geological field studies. I have published 5 papers (in Persian language)on Iranian agates, by now. The Khur agate field in Central Iran with its fine blue agates, is my favorite agate field in Iran. However, I have picked point more than 30 agate, geode, and thunder egg fields on the map of Iran. Some of these occurrences have been discovered and introduced to all those interested, for first time. Most of agate occurrences of Iran located in the extensive volcanic provinces, those are mostly Eocene in age. I have a large collection of Iranian agates and it would be a great pleasure if I could have some trades with other collectors around the world. I would be in touch in my e-mail and mailing addresses, to give any more information about Iranian agates to all lovers of these beautiful creatures of the Mother Nature. |
