My illusion's shattered! ;-)
The "novelty" was a large batch of Tetrahedrites from the classic Spanish mine of El Coriellu in which the "novelty" was that, against to the known before, they were labeled as pseudomorphized by "Cuproroméite" since it was said that there was an analysis that pointed out this.
This analysis should be wrong because as you can see in the always extraordinary report of Dr. César Menor there does not seem to be any trace of the "Cuproroméite" on the two samples from that lot that I sent to him.

As with most major shows in recent years, much of what was on offer at Munich this year were recycled collections and specimens from already well-known locations rather than much that was truly new. New, at least to me, were the fluorites from Sicily, and while not exactly a new locality, there were some very nice fluorites from Cantera Llamas, Asturias, which I understand were found this year.
| Mineral: | Fluorite |
| Locality: | | Poggio Balate, Termini Imerese, Metropolitan City of Palermo Province, Sicily, Italy | |

Hi, I ask the help of a visitor of the 2018 Munich show.
I photographed this beautiful spessartine with quartz and muscovite, but the photo cut the origin. What is it ?
Thank you.

Thanks to Carles Manresa we got the right provenance. Is Shigar Valley, I already applied it to your photo.

A lifetime... I've been living with minerals all my life, going to the Shows, assembling stands, dismantling stands, and, like me, so have many other dealers.
I wish to finish my chronicles of the Munich Show with a small tribute to all my colleagues, the dealers, who year after year, like snails, carry their homes on their backs with all those treasures that light up in the Shows, as the modest ‘rocks’, which for us were also treasures when we began to collect.
The vast majority of mineral dealers were collectors and / or mineral hunters before dedicating themselves to the business and, believe it or not, the vast majority of us still have a gleam in our eyes when we see an exceptional (or very rare) piece, and not for financial reasons...😉
A warm thanks to James Catmur for your help correcting my English text

Mineral magazines are a very important part of our hobby because in addition to the knowledge they provide, they really synthesize the different visions: that of collectors, dealers, and scientists. |

| In Munich Show (Mineralientage) 2018 - The New Discoveries Jordi Fabre wrote: | | ...To highlight what has recently been found in the Bouismas Mine: large Barite crystals partially coated by white Actinolite, large groups of transparent crystals of Quartz with Calcite, in some cases with clear crystals of Sphalerite of yellow-reddish color, and also isolated crystals with good size of Calcite sometimes associated to Djurleite... |
Morocco is a complicated country in what concern their localities. Despite the references gave by the Moroccan dealers, the real locality for these Barytes with Actinolite as well as the large groups of Quartz with Calcite and the Calcites with Djurleite is not Bouismas Mine but Aït Ahmane Mine.
Thanks to George Favreau, Tomek and Christian Mondeilh to point me out about the right reference.
