Hi all, i found a very interesting report from the mineral show in Schlema, Saxony, which took place last sunday, on the Crystal Classics website:

www(dot)crystalclassics(dot)co(dot)uk/news-story(dot)php?id=60

This could be interesting to the most of you because this is a show for true mineral enthusiasts and there is no jewellry stuff or something like that, but only minerals, and many classics from Saxony and other localities were shown and offered. I'm sure that many of you regularly visit the Crystal Classics website, but i don't want anybody to miss this show report, so i mentioned it here.

For the German readers: This report also exists in German language:

Hi, Tobias

Thanks for sharing

A friend, some years ago, said me that the best fair for systematics is Heidelberg, nevertheless...
Is that true?
I rarely travel to buy minerals (I prefer to expend the money of travel in pieces :-) ), but if Heidelberg is so good..... :-)

By the way, being bad, any new news about the Schlema wire silvers?

With best wishes

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.
It was a tough decision since he really had lots of very nice pieces.

If you are interested you can see them in the category Collection photos --> jaysminerals and then on page 3.
