Hi,
After the visit of the Show of Ste-Marie 2017, I propose some photos.
In the first place, a historical calcite of Des Cloizeaux highlighting a new form for the time.
I suggest to Pete Richards to explain this crystal to us by a drawing.
Roger.

if a moderator could change the size of the specimen on the photo 5537: it is 20cm
and the 5536 is instead 40cm
I can not remember if the second hematite is in fact from Dalnegorsk ? it looks Alpine to me.

Phillippe, Nice pix! In your very last picture of the galena you say "surely" from the Tristate district. Does that mean you are not absolutely positive?? If so, I agree as the specimen could also very well be from the Viburnum Trend mining district in Missouri. BOB

One of the things that helps to better understand the atmosphere of the Shows are the reviews of the local newspapers. Thanks to the help of Pina and Gérard Schneller we can see the vision of the St. Marie Show of the local newspaper DNA
I'm publishing the reviews in order, from the start to the end of the Show, please note the two last where you will see some familiar faces and the texts related with these faces 🤙
More to come...

As for this galena, I agree, it looks like a Viburnum Trend specimen.
While shooting I did not record all of the localities :) mesmerized by the beauties

It is logical that the Museum of Natural History of Paris recalls its illustrious ancestors, like R. J. Haüy and Alfred Lacroix.
Here is the Abbe René Just Haüy (1743-1822), the Father of Mineralogy with some specimens of his collection.

Alfred Lacroix was a very great mineralogist and crystallograph (1863-1948). His book "Minéralogie de la France" is a reference, combining the various crystallographic notations.
But he was also the first great French vulcanologist. He went to the island of Martinique when the volcano "La Montagne Pelée" exploded (May 1902). He is the father of French vulcanology.
The Museum of Natural History of Paris exhibited several crystalline species associated with volcanism or the geology of the deep mantle.

Marco Tironi operates the Las Deliciosas Mine, La Bolsa, Artigas, Uruguay, known for its beautiful amethysts associated with large calcite crystals. We are surprised to see these very aesthetic associations.
