That really hasn't to do with caution. As i said before: None of us collectors knows everything and nobody would consider it a lack of caution not to know every single fact. So don't mind & thank you very much again for that fine report!
There are wonderful specimens on your photos. The showcases with all the gem specimens from Brazil and Pakistan are simply great, also the Erongo specimens of aquamarine, pure eye candy. Another thing that caught my eye was that delicious honey-coloured calcite from China (Daye Mine?); and that gemmy rhodochrosite from Uchucchacua Mine is something i'll sure dream of after i've seen this picture :-) My absolute favourite compared to other two rhodos. And of course the fluorite from La Collada looks great, a cute and tiny micromount ;-) Only the spinel/pargasite combination from Vietnam ... i don't know, looks somehow artificial :-/
Cheers!

Hello Roger,
I'm afraid we chased each other because you were out when I checked at your friend's tent. Will try to remember to get your cellphone number next year.
Thanks for sharing your pictures with us. Looking forward the ones you took in the streets.
Some pictures of the surroundings follow.

Go back to the théâtre which also hosted an exhibition of the minerals that can be found in the Britain region. When needed I've added the mineral's name English translation.
To Tobias : you are right, the calcite is from Daye, Hubei, China.

Hi Chris -
Thanks for sharing your great photos. Regarding geography, to make sure it is clear to the English-speaking readers, the region you are speaking of is Britttany in English :-)

Bon apetite!!
I've seen Chris in Sainte Marie, perhaps that is the reason why I couldn't see you.. ;-)
Next time there, or Munich perhaps...
Thank you for the pictures

Well, now we know Ploum was there on Sunday as there was no juice before saturday afternoon... ;-)
Great pictures, as always. (Not to compare with mine in the Spanish side and even better than the minerals I was actually seen)
Thank you
Arturo
