Hi all,
last weekend i went on a trip to Harz Mountains, one of Germany's most famous mining areas in the past. Here are some impressions of my visit to the mineralogical collection of the Technical University of Clausthal; mostly Harz minerals and other German classics but also wonderful specimens from all over the world:
