Continuing the Alpine theme and then wandering around among some of the other show cases in hall A5, among which (in my opinion) there were rather more well worth admiring than there had been last year.
(A note to our readers in the U.S.: There's no competitive element to these exhibits. They're just a venue offered to selected individuals, clubs, and a few museums and similar institutions where they can highlight something of interest to them and to the visiting public, be it specimens, locations, mining history of a particular area, etc.)

The exhibition area in hall A6 hosted this year's headline theme show - Brazilian Beauties.
Brazilian Beauties are tall and colorful. ;)
I didn't manage to get any decent shots of the best ones, so all I can offer is a few mouth-watering, approximately-in-focus samples...

That case of minerals from Tanzania looks absolutely fascinating!!! A welcome relief from the endless boring quartz and fluorite at these European shows. Is there any chance you would have some more close-up photos of the minerals in this Tanzania case?
Many thanks
S.

One of the most important novelties of the fair, if not the most important, has been the new Alabandites from Uchucchacua mine. At my return to Barcelona I will publish some picture of them...

I add the copy of the Alabandite's analysis kindly supplied for Teodocio.
BTW, to know more details about this find I suggest to visit the well know column about mineral shows from John Veevaert -> https://mineralshows.com/ms2010/report1.shtml

M-A-G-N-I-F-I-C-E-N-T tourmaline specimens!!!
I also like the Tanzania private collection, very interesting and well arranged. And a sea-green aquamarin with the size of a pile of dishes ... ok, what else to say? ;-) The University of Marburg had a display with Brazilian minerals there, Carles Millan told me, has anybody taken pictures of the Marburg booth?

The exhibits this year were wonderful. Both "Brazilian Beauties" and Alpine minerals were a highlight, either for the quality of the specimens as for the superb layout. Congratulations to the Munich's staff, they did a great job!
As I saw a lot of people doing photos and in fact many photos are already downloaded here by Gerhard and Ryan, now I will publish just some, and after few days and before to write my conclusions about the Show I will publish the ones that aren't published yet.
