Barcelona 10/15/2014
The Munich Show is here and this year I will open the thread for this Show in a somewhat unusual way, with a photograph of one of the most endearing stands, the stand of the Bologna Show, which as you can see in the text below, does not offer minerals but gastronomic Italian wonders!
So this initial post serves to reflect what is the Mineralientage: a Brotherhood / Great Mega Party of all the people crazy for the minerals! ;-)
More to come...

Not sure I understood that - must be my lack of Swedish.

Have to agree with James, Peter. Not too clear as to what you message was. Can you try again?

James and John,
even with a working knowledge of Swedish I also wonder what Peter wants to tell us - especially since the "Urban Dictionary" describes "slog" as:
"This is a combination between a slut and a hog. It is commonly used to describe a promiscious woman who is quite overweight. Also used to describe any women who you dislike and want to offend.
She is sleeping with half the sailors at the port and eats more than them too, what a slog".
I know Peter well and I am quite confident it is not what he will be bringing to the Munich show....

My interpretation of what Peter said is "Always a very pleasant booth not to miss, bring along a good friend to enjoy life."

Hi Don,
I am sure you must be right. Anyway, I am off to the show in a few hours and look forward to meeting many mineral friends and FMF-posters there.

Thanks John.
I add one more image of that supper. I don't published it before because almost everybody seems to be serious, but after the previous comment of John the people can consider that this seriously was just a posed circumstance...
BTW, If you look well in the photo you will also see that a neighbor behind Tom Moore seems to have two heads. This is not something that happens in Munich, do not fear, it's only a optical effect of the "panoramic" photo ;-)

|
|
Munich 25/10/2014
What's new in Munich 2014?: unfortunately very, very little. At least for what I have seen and heard there have been almost non novelties.
To mention some, the pretty Hungarian hyalites from Tokaj, the extraordinary Strontioginorites from Kohnstein Quarry, Niedersachswerfen, Germany and the new blue Albites with Microcline and smoky Quartz from somewhere in China as well as the amazing pink Fluorite with inclusions of sulfides mined in July 2014 in the shaft number 2 of Huanggang.
Considering this all I would say that one of the real novelties of this Show was the presentation in public of the extraordinary book "Gold for Collectors" published by Mineral Up Editions with a FABULOUS image's quality. We strongly recommend that nobody misses it.
