Posted: Sep 07, 2014 09:44 Post subject: Another visit to Marburg Museum (including a new tourmaline exhibition) |
|
|
Hi folks,
once again I was at my "home museum" today to take some photos of a new tourmaline exhibition. Of course I also took photos of the other displays. So there will be maybe some photos that I presented before in one of those threads - but I think there are worse things than repeating mineral photos ;-)
And I don't think it is necessary to comment each photo, or is it? Most pictures speak for themselves, and translating mineral names from German to English isn't that hard ;-)
Size info: The black labels all have a width of 4-5 cm, the green ones from the Russian minerals a width of 7 cm.

Hi Tobi,
Thanks for the virtual trip. I made a mental note about the sphalerite from Marburg's area (img_5298_512.jpg) in case I see one like this in a show besides a galena/siderite from Neudorf :-).
Cheers
Christophe

For me, they can't compete with Neudorf galena (there are actually a few minerals that can), but if you like those sphalerites, there's good news for you: They are not as expensive as the galena classics from Neudorf. But also bad news: They're as hard to obtain as the famous Harz classics because only a few came out of that quarry. Good luck ;) But don't worry - I neither have one in my collection ...
