Shows and Exibitions

The special exhibits were in a section of hall A6 and the main theme were the Tourmaline  and Trilobites . The most amazing  part of this show was the 'Rhapsodie in black Tourmaline '  Most collectors do not realize that black tourmaline conceals the secret of fabulous colours in its interior. They are revealed by filigree transverse and longitudinal cuts. . A team of specialists attended to this theme and  presented it in fascinating way to the visitors of the Munich Show.  Most of the schorl slices were from Madagascar   and Namibia

In Hall A4 there were other showcases  displaying very nice from personal collections

Let start to show you some of the most impressive and intersting pieces presented in A6 . Above all  the Showcases   of tourmaline presented by Keith Proctor  with the famous Rose of Itatiaia from the Jonas Mine in Brazil. (it seems that 2,5 millions Euro were offered for this piece)
