Among the most spectacular finds are the fantastic light blue calcites from the Julia mine in Bilbao, which enraptured collectors' hearts to about the mid-1970s. At about the same time the zinc mine Las Manforas at Aliva supplied excellent, highl lustrous Calcites, often associated with the world's best red Sphalerites. ...

Amonsgt the forms of calcite the pinacoid is unique as it consists of exactly two parallel and oriented perpendicular to the c-axis surfaces. All other Calcite forms have either six or twelve areas. The pinacoid is an open form, with which it can not really include space; so the pinacoid must accompany other forms on the calcite crystal ...

Forschungsbohrungen (1988, Groß Pampau I & II) ergaben, dass ab ca. 7 m Tiefe der Tonschichten das mittlere Langenfeldium, ab ca. 19 m das untere Langenfeldium und ab ca. 29 m das obere Reinbekium beginnnt. Während des Hauptabbaus (Seeseite) in Groß Pampau waren ca. 17 m der Glimmertonschichten mehr oder weniger zugänglich, als Ton für die Deponieabdeckung abgebaut wurde. Anhand der aufgelesenen Fossilien (mehr als 150 Arten konnten gefunden werden) und dem Vergleich dieser Arten mit heute noch in gemäßigteren Regionen lebenden Vertretern (und deren Lebensbedingungen), geht man von einer damals durchschnittlichen Wassertiefe von 50 - 80 m aus. ...

There are specimens of unique beauty and extreme rarity in the collection, pieces that cannot be replaced since some localities are closed or have been obliterated. All this might be thrown away because not many people realise the value and importance hidden in these little unimpressive boxes”. Many micromounters are worried by these considerations and other factors. “My collection is an important part of my life and of my personality. If my collection dissapears, I too, will cease to exist without trace”. We, the Micromounters of the Münchener Mineralienfreunde, are no exception. Many times the future of our collections was subject of our discussions and conversations. Children and grand children are not always appreciative of their parents’ or grandparents’ passion.

Although visitor numbers appeared slightly lower than last year, the fair remained vibrant and diverse. Highlights included the collector displays and the special exhibition on natural resources, while the fossil section was somewhat smaller.
Some visitors expressed a wish for more seating areas, opportunities for exchange, and more eye-catching advertising, yet overall the event left a very positive impression and remains a must-visit for collectors and families alike.
