As i won't be at the show, just wondering will the four talks on Friday June 28 by Larson, Veevaert, Mauthner and Werschky be recorded, published or CD's made?

Posted: Jun 25, 2013 15:12 Post subject: Sainte Marie-aux-Mines Show 2013 - The set up day and already some novelties |
|
|
Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines 06/25/2013
Today is an exciting day for the most obsessed dealers & collectors because in the set up day the novelties (if there) appear and some sleepers and goodies change of owners...
In terms of novelties although is true that (as usual) is not a major novelty that focus all the Show, this Ste. Marie 2013 is plenty of small but interesting novelties, mainly from Morocco, which consolidates the fact that Ste. Marie is the main Show for the Moroccan material.
Putting aside Morocco, I I would like point out the very good Smithsonites pseudo Calcite from san Antonio Mine, Santa Eulalia, Mexico, the funny rosettes of Azurite from Plaka Mines, Lavrion, Greece and, although not a real novelty, the Linarites with Brochantite from King Arthur Mine, Evros, Thracia, Greece, some of them with a very high quality.
More to come...

We can see the live show via webcam provided by the Sainte Marie-aux-Mines management:

It's a pity the camera is not a hand one travelling from one booth to another :-)

Excellent photos, as usual !
However, it would be still better if you let us know the size of each specimen.

He can't Carles. These are the specimens on display in the "Hidden Treasures of America" so not chance to measure them accurately. He can say just something like "miniature", "cabinet", "large", "extra large", so I will do it now for him.

difficult for me to said excatly size behind glasses. I can said with zoom of bridge but it's not very simple.
pseudo boleite is the smallest FOV is 30 mm and specimen 10-12 mm ? FULL ZOOM of FZ28
First cumengeite specimen 30 mm ?
secund cumengeite specimen 15 mm ?
Boleite size is 20-25 mm ?
for benitoite it's possible to see on John Veevart website in his personnal collection.
