One of the most important novelties of the fair, if not the most important, has been the new Alabandites from Uchucchacua mine. At my return to Barcelona I will publish some picture of them...

I add the copy of the Alabandite's analysis kindly supplied for Teodocio.
BTW, to know more details about this find I suggest to visit the well know column about mineral shows from John Veevaert -> https://mineralshows.com/ms2010/report1.shtml

M-A-G-N-I-F-I-C-E-N-T tourmaline specimens!!!
I also like the Tanzania private collection, very interesting and well arranged. And a sea-green aquamarin with the size of a pile of dishes ... ok, what else to say? ;-) The University of Marburg had a display with Brazilian minerals there, Carles Millan told me, has anybody taken pictures of the Marburg booth?

The exhibits this year were wonderful. Both "Brazilian Beauties" and Alpine minerals were a highlight, either for the quality of the specimens as for the superb layout. Congratulations to the Munich's staff, they did a great job!
As I saw a lot of people doing photos and in fact many photos are already downloaded here by Gerhard and Ryan, now I will publish just some, and after few days and before to write my conclusions about the Show I will publish the ones that aren't published yet.

A few more random photos. Although I think that the TGMS still takes the prize for the best exhibits, I can not overstate just how great the Munich show has become. It is like the best of the overall Tucson show distilled into four days and in one venue. Every serious mineral collector should try to attend.

Glad to see so many additional wonderful pictures!
Two thoughts to add a sense of scale...
On the one hand, if you were to take all the gold that has ever been mined on this planet in the entire human history and piled it up, it would fill only one corner of one of these huge halls.
Well, it would also make a massive dent in the floor by its weight. Perhaps we should spread it out then, over the entire floor area of a hall. You could be wading in it... it would be less than waist deep.
On the other hand, despite the huge amount of minerals and other collectibles that had been brought together, and despite the large crowds admiring them: Just step outside on a clear day and you can see the Alps, 40 miles to the south as the crow flies, and you realize that they're vastly, hugely, unimaginably bigger, and they're just one of the large mountain ranges on Earth...
---So, what has everyone brought home from the show? Apart from pictures, pleasant memories, and sore feet?
I'll start with a truly tiny one (a lucky discovery at the far edge of a table, and a good bargain too). From the Grube Clara at Oberwolfach:
| Description: |
Clear almost colorless Raspite on corroded Chalcopyrite (rimmed with tiny needles of Rhabdophane), on a matrix of Fluorite (top right), Quartz (bottom left) and some yellow Baryte (outside the frame). This is one of two Raspite associations at Clara mine mentioned in Kurt Walenta's book about the minerals of the Black Forest.
The crystal stands about .3mm tall in the b[010] direction, marked by the striations, and is .32mm wide in the c[001] direction, across the striations. The field of view is 1.5x1.9mm. The black roof is an artifact of refraction and internal reflection.
Raspite is a monoclinic dimorph of Stolzite, but perhaps it is best thought of as a kind of Pb analogue of the wolframite series. |

John, The person on the left is Tomasz Praszkier of Spirifer Geological Society, in Poland. He was one of the people responsible for the excellent exhibit of fluorite from the Strzegom granite quarries.
Below is a photo of one (not in the exhibit) that I got from him at the show.
