FMF - Friends of Minerals Forum, discussion and message board

Hi all,

i just read James' great idea for a thread about a mineralogical journey through the United Kingdom. We already have such a board for the different U.S. states, and i love the idea of dedicating such a board to a country and its regions.

So why not doing this for Germany, too?! Our country is (or at least was) one of the mineral-richest in the world and has so many famous mining regions that it could be worth starting a board for a MINERALOGICAL TRIP THROUGH GERMANY. Of course only if Jordi an the other forum members agree. But i think many of you own some wonderful German minerals and we all could work together to show them region by region.

IF (!) we agree to start such a board, i would recommend to divide it into the following regions:

1: BLACK FOREST
2: ERZGEBIRGE and rest of Saxony
3: HARZ MOUNTAINS
4: WÖLSENDORF and rest of Bavaria
5: SIEGERLAND and SAUERLAND
6: EIFEL and HUNSRÜCK
7: Rest of Germany

What do you think about my idea?

Cheers!
Tobi

Excellent Tobi...perhaps later we could do the same about Spain and its regions, the Country with the most ancient mining in the world.

Sure, there a lot of countries with a long mining history and a large number of famous localities. It's up to the forum masters - i would welcome this idea!

So Jordi and all the others who have to decide - could you establish more of such boards, e.g. for Germany?
