Re: Munich Show (Mineralientage) 2015

Paula and I attended Munich for the first time. We spent 2-1/2 days wandering mainly the 5A and 5B halls (where the minerals and fossil dealers are) and along with the fabulous displays both of minerals and fossils. Your photographs are extremely well done considering the conditions you were shooting under. We saw many of the specimens you selected from the various dealers as well. There were several that caught my eye including the Elba elbaite. By the way, the dimension he notes at 6cm is for the crystal not the entire specimen. The photo does not do justice to the large free-form polished ruby. The piece must weigh at least 25 kg and is 25 to 30cm tall. The Munich Show is a fabulous event. I am glad we finally made it there.
