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. |

It is found in very different shapes, both compact as limestone as well as sinter in caves and in the crystalline state. But even in our daily life calcite is always present: in some regions it blockes water pipes as "chalk", we build our houses with it, it is in our food chain and without it we could not stand upright. Calcite is not rare, but the varied mineral on Earth. The variety of forms and variations of the forms of calcite are unmatched in the world of mineralogy. By 2009, more than 800 Calcit forms have been described. |

Nach Überlieferungen haben die "Alten" bei der Suche nach Erzen auf diese Zeichen der Natur geachtet. Gerade bei Antimonerzen ist diese eigene Flora sehr ausgebildet. Antimon weist unter den Elementen eine hohe Mobilität auf und wird, wenn es in löslicher Form vorliegt, von Pflanzen leicht aufgenommen. Die Konzentrationen in Pflanzen können 7-50 mg/kg TS betragen. |
