The incomparable Ste. Marie is almost here!🤗
To heating up a little bit I'm publishing the maps of the "Mineral Zone" of the Fair, maps that you can also find in "All the maps" of the web page of the Show.

As I post this, not only is the Ste Marie mineral show in progress, but there is a record breaking heat wave in progress in Europe including France.
Has this heat wave affected the show? Are the dealers and attending customers suffering? How is the attendance? Have sales or even the delicate minerals themselves been affected? Some reports from the show might be interesting. BOB

Still on life and enjoying the Alsatian nature as well as its weather 😊

The top of the Mont Blanc is melting
in Ste Marie, I remember water sprays near the theatre: it was a nice place to stay.

A few snapshots from the Prestige exhibition where lead took the lead this year.
As usual, year after year, this exhibition is an amazing virtual museum with specimens from museums, public institutions, and private collections.

| Posted: Jun 30, 2019 14:31 Post subject: Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines 2019 - Heat Wave |
|
|
Barcelona 06/30/2019
This edition of Ste. Marie happened in the midst of the most important heat wave of the history of France with temperatures that had never been reached before, so, many events were suspended throughout France for reasons of safety (and humanity)
And yet this edition of Ste. Marie, made in the closed depression of the Val d'Argent, with the majority of exhibitors in "tents" of thick canvas in which the temperatures up to 52ºC / 125 °F were reached, with lights and spotlights adding heat and without the lightest breeze during all the days of the Show it has been a success, either of the public and of the sales, quality of the specimens and exhibitions, and even of the new discoveries.
The citizens of Ste. Marie managed to create a unique Show 56 years ago and, defending it staunchly, they have managed to overcome all adversities and achieve a Show that remains an extraordinary success.
Congratulations Ste. Marie: a gigantic effort to raise a great Show!
| Description: |
| News of the local press yesterday Saturday in which they reviewed the cancellation of many events in Alsace due to the heat wave and mentions Ste. Marie as one of the few whom "did not sink" |

52ºC !
Jordi this is a new world record I think. It is unbelievable!. As a resident to Middle Eastern country (Iran) we have rather a cool summer, reaching today only to 35°C. What is going on the climate change!

Please note that this was referred about inside one of the tents, not as the general temperature. A Dutch guy bought a thermometer and he let us know that he reached 52ºC inside its tent. Precise or not, the reality is that temperatures around 40 ºC were reached in all Alsace arriving at some places to 42 ºC, so it does not surprise me that inside one of the tents the temperature could have reached 52 ºC

40C is a standard summer day temp for me here in eastern Kern county California, And 52C is on the cool side in Death Valley this time of the year.

It was really hot. My wife and me couldn't resist more than 3 hours before leaving. It was as hot inside than outside.
