If you have not been to the Minerals Days Munich from 2 - 4 November 2007, you have really missed something: the special exhibition “Gemstones of the Himalayas“ presented the presumably largest and most valuable collection of gemstones from the countries around the Himalayas that has ever been seen.
Even celebrities such as the Sheik of Qatar or Reinhold Messner did not miss the chance to be present and were truly impressed by the variety and quality of stones. The most eye-catching stone was probably “The Asian Rose“, a white, light-flooded tourmaline crystal ready to unveil its deep-red soul to viewers.
In three exhibition halls, more than 1,000 exhibitors from 52 countries presented a colourful and glamorous potpourri: diamond, aquamarine, ruby, rock crystal, amber and many more both in their natural forms and incorporated into rings, chains, balls, lamps or massage rollers.
The broad range displayed attracted over 38,000 visitors to the Minerals Days Munich, almost 10% more enthusiasts of the beautiful stones and natural treasures than in 2006.
Another highlight of the largest fair for minerals, fossils and gemstones were the extremely beautiful “fossils from Monte Bolca”: imprints of fish and plants that took visitors on a time travel 50 million years back.
Whether crocodile, jellyfish or angelfish – every living creature leaves its mark. The Natural History Museum Verona presented top collectibles that many a collector would like to call his own.
