Hi folks,
Yesterday and today I finally took a trip to TERRA MINERALIA in Freiberg/Saxony, maybe the best and most valuable mineral collection/exhibition in the world. Maybe the Giazotto collection in Italy and the MIM Museum in Beirut can compete with it, I don't know for sure. But what I saw in these two days in Saxony was so thrilling, so outstanding, so awe-inspiring, all mineral collections I've seen in my entire life look like a small cute box of rubble compared to the incredible treasures that are on display in Freudenstein Castle in Freiberg. This may sound brain-washed, and indeed my mind will take long to handle what I saw there ...
However, I just returned home from Freiberg and realized that I took 500 photos instead of the 150-200 I planned ;-) I will inspect them now to look for bad quality photos and then I will start uploading them here, it could reach the dimensions of a Gail Spann show report - don't say I didn't warn you ;-)
I will not put many comments in the report, those photos don't need any words. I tried to capture the label in each picture and I'm sure you will identify everything though it is in German ;-)
An info about the specimen sizes: Yes, most of them are large, some even very large. Always take the black labels as reference, nearly all of them have a width of exactly 10 cm ...
Have fun!
Tobi

Definitely Lady Erika Pohl-Ströher has good taste!
Let me add a link to the origin of The Dr. Erika Pohl-Ströher Collection
Tobi, thanks for posting this, is a consolation for those who we don't go to Munich.
Let's go with more treasures please ...

For me, it is a trip of 400 km to Freiberg - and it was absolutely worth it. My recommendation to everyone who loves minerals: Go there at least once in your life and visit this extraordinary collection, no matter how long the journey may be for you ...

And concerning the number of specimens you should keep in mind that I took photos of about 10 percent of the collection ...

In this post and in the next one you'll see that having just one large, superb rhodochrosite from N'Chwaning Mines in a collection would be boring - it's better to have many ;-)
