Hi Jordi

Was a pleasure to see you at the booth and talk to you. I was the guy with the pyromorphite. Maybe you remember.

Hmm.... somehow it is now all messed up. I uninstalled the program and wanted to reinstall it, but it is now not working anymore. It show this mistake right away.
The backup folder has 432kb and the ...

Hello Carles

Due to a virus I had to set up my computer completely new. So I first made an backup to an external drive and then set up the computer new. After that I followed instruction #12 on you ...

Well here I come to an end of my report. I am sorry again that I was not taking pictures at the show. There are probably others who will be able to add some. I thought this report might be helpful for ...

Around the pavillon there are located several dealers who also offer high quality pieces but for that what I think with nice prize/quality relation.

Hi Carles

Very nice specimens you add from day to day. Especially the last one ( https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?p=18366#18366 ) is a phantastic piece. Can you shoot me a ...

Indeed very interesting.
He mentioned Andradite (Garnet) was already offered for sale on the show in Nuremberg (Nürnberg) and I was able to get a nice piece and also a Prasem specimen from this find. ...

Here I got a Manganite from the classic German locality Illfeld. I wonder what you guys think if the price was right for this thumbnail. 3 Euros.

It has been quite a little while since I posted something. Here are three pieces I recently aquired.
An andradite with hedenbergite and quartz (especially the combination is rare). A prasem with hem ...

Wow. What a killer. I really really like that one. Keep posting.

And here is a new piece I recently acquired. It is a Knappenwand miniature. Hard to photograph. In real this piece is an absolutely pleasure 360° round. It comes from the 2009 new finds.

Here is an even closer picture. Thanks for your tips GeissWare.

Hi Les
Thanks for your comment. Indeed the Apatite crystal looks like glued onto the matrix. I first thought that too. But look at the side shot photo. I left it a little bit to dark so that the stru ...

Hi Jordi
Interesting topic you came up with relating to my topic. I will add another point of view to this. I have this Fluorite from Frohnau Germany. Besides the fact that the piece is hard to photo ...
