French writer Roger Caillois was struck by the Second World War in Argentina and was forced to stay there. He visited Patagonia in 1942, where he started developing his passion for the mineral world. In 1970 he wrote The Writing of Stones, a philosophical commentary on his own stone collection. Throughout his life he maintained a correspondence with Argentine writer Victoria Ocampo.
