Hi Chris,
great photos! .... and thanks for sending me the pic of Jordi and myself. Just posted a 'report' at mindat
https://www.mindat.org/blog.php/643/First+blog+ever+-+Ste.+Marie+show+2009

dunno if the link will work, maybe Jordi has to 'normalize' it but i wouldn´t like to write it again for the forum here so i hope it will be ok to be linked here.

Was a great experience and a pleasure to meet you all,

cheers
Roger

Premium space in the Theatre - we've already seen many of the French Fluorites in better shots than mine, so I'll limit myself to one of the items from Ste Marie's local mining history.

And finally, a tiny tiny selection of just a few of the many items I looked at but did _not_ buy and carry home.

I went away with about 6kg in books, an UV lamp, a small digital scale, two toy Ulexites (polished - sorry;) ) which will be de-accessioned soon to my nieces and nephews, and twenty-four specimens proper, which will gradually find their way into their own thread here. Stretched my budget, but good value.

And of course, meeting many nice people and seeing many interesting things in person and up close are priceless!

Hi Roger,

Your link is fine, all links to Mindat are permitted in FMF.

BTW, if by chance you still have some extra photo and you wish to publish here, it would be great.. This post is becoming really luxurious, some of your photos will make it still better! ;-)

To the people who want to know more, they also have my daily reports about the Show and its novelties: https://www.mineral-forum.com/message-board/viewtopic.php?t=644

Hi Gail,

Glad you liked. I still have a few more pictures for you...

Roger,

Glad to meet you in person, still thanks for the great German beer we enjoyed together.

Gerhard,

Great addition, you happened to take pictures of almost everything I forgot or didn't have time to photograph. If you have other pictures, they are welcomed.

Christophe

Good evening Jordi and the other people with good taste. Hoping that you have found this year your pleasure in the small town of Sainte Marie aux Mines.
I wouldn't show 36 times the same photographies, so I suggest a little election of pieces that seem to be more than ordinary.
