I have the opportunity this year to show some Brazilian specimens from my collection at the special exhibit "Arco Iris - the Brazilian gemstone-rainbow over Münich" at the 2010 Münich Mineral Show. We all known the diversity that Brazil has produced over many decades untill today on breathtaking mineral specimens and outstanding colored and multicolored gem crystals. For that reason the name "Arco Iris" was carefully chosen and means literaly "rainbow" in Portugese, because Brazil is the only country in the world who has produced gemstones in all the seven different colors of the rainbow.
The least we can say about the display in Münich this year is that with 206 magnificent specimens on display, that the special exhibit will be surprisingly colorfull !

The participating collectors and dealers (alphabetically) who have specimens on display on the 450 square meter "Arco Iris special exhibit" are:
Albersdörfer Raimund, Budil Marcus, Giazotto Adalberto, Larson Bill, Dr. Lavinsky Robert, Dr. Meieran Eugene, Menezes Luiz,
Pauwels Mario, Dr. Pohl Burkhard, Prato Riccardo, Tironi Marco, Wagner Gerhard, Watzl Anton, Wild Hans-Werner, Wild Manfred.

Below you can the see a selection of twelve of my specimens who will be on display at the "Arco Iris special exhibit" in Münich this year.
