One more teaser for those who hesitate to come to Munich!
Africa is big, and Congo will be well honored with several worldclass specimens, beyond imagination (in the main exhibits with other classics and rarities): carrollites, cobaltocalcites, an exceptionnal buttgenbackite...
The most spectacular "2011" Tantara pseudomorph (as far as I know) has been selected to be there! Copyrighted J Scovil picture
The specimen illustrated in JV reports last year will be back there too, in my collector's case dedicated only to Tantara, it is very elegant for one of these!
I will be very happy to share talks about these, kept secret for a long time)
See you there

Already in Munich. The weather in North East of France was super, still warm, and here in Munich is not bad at all although some fog and in general a cloudy day, as usual here.
For the next days is announced cold time and even snow. Dress warmly! ;-)

Due to unexpected difficulties of my access by Internet to some parts of FMF from my Hotel, sorry but I can't publish my regular news from the Show until my return to Barcelona. If in the meantime someone could cover these days with some notes / columns it would be great.
Sorry again, my life during the Shows is very complicated and without a full / good access to the network I can't do anything else.

A few impressions from yours truly, quite overwhelmed like every year...
So it will good to start with a complete overview - a whole minerals and gems and crystal-healing and special-exhibits and posters and... show (filling four huge halls in reality) in a nutshell, a labor of love of the Heinlein twins (with support from the family)!

Over to the colectors' and clubs' show cases. As in earlier years, these are near impossible to photograph due to the skylights (and visitors, and camera lens) reflecting in the inclined glass panes. Trying to position the camera so as to avoid the reflections tends to result in poor viewing angles for the exhibits themselves. A selection of more or less successful compromises follows.
