  "abstract": "The name of a rather rare collector's mineral is: serandite. This name commemorates a self-taught man born in Faverges (Alps, France) and forty-two years old in 1914: Jules-Numa Mugnier-Serand. This article recounts the scientific career of this native of Haute-Savoie, who served as a lighthouse keeper in Africa. Through his connections with renowned scientists such as Alfred Lacroix and General Ferrié, he became a skilled naturalist in the Los Islands, a radio-guide aboard an aerostat during the First World War, an observer of radio waves during tropical storms off the coast of Conakry, and an author of research papers.",
