Mineral Talks LIVE - Episode 64 - Roy Starkey - Mineral Book Author - Worcestershire, United Kingdom

Writing a book on minerals is truly an act of passion. The formulation of the idea. The research. The interviews. The research. The edits. The photographs. The research. Quite often it may seem like an insurmountable mountain but, just like in mountain climbing, step-by-step, you'll eventually get there. Roy Starkey - out of Worcestershire in the U.K. - is no stranger to the task. In fact, Roy has gone through this process over and over and, each time, he has produced some of the finest books on U.K. minerals. In his latest accomplishment, "Making it Mine: Sir Arthur Russell and his Mineral Collection," Roy has painstakingly researched and written about one of the greatest British mineral collectors in the 20th century - Sir Arthur Russell. In his time, Russell built up the finest private collection of British minerals in history most of which are now housed at the Natural History Museum: London. In this informative interview, Roy talks about his background, his accomplishments and Sir Arthur Russell - his latest passion. Roy also talks about the ins and outs of putting together a book, provides A LOT of excellent pointers for anyone else wanting to write their own book and encourages everyone to follow their passion.
