Tuesday Update – Europe

Tuesday Update – Europe

Thomas Cotterell

THE 2026 Munich Show takes place this week and this year we have pulled out all the stops to bring what we feel is probably the greatest selection of new specimens we have ever achieved. From old-time collections to newly mined stock, we have sourced specimens from right around the world, bringing them all into one place – Munich – for you to enjoy.

Despite our displays of minerals from right around the world, it seems logical, as this is Europe’s biggest mineral show, to have a European theme. We take a broad sweep across the continent, from Alpine classics, to obscure little-known historic rarities with stunning old collector labels, Type Localities, and just simply beautiful crystals.

I do hope that you enjoy them, and if you would like to see more, why not come and join us in our booth in B1.p18.

Have a great week, whether you are in Munich or not.

Please note: Today's featured specimens are situated at both our US and UK showrooms.
