Fabre Minerals
Initial Tucson 2009 update
26th February 2009
After a quiet period, during which we attended the huge Tucson show, we are
re-starting our on-line updates. Please note that, given that we have two
Spanish shows to attend shortly after Tucson, MineralExpo in Sants and the
Madrid School of Mines, we will only be able to publish what we obtained
during Tucson at the end of March, as it will take a while for us to get
them ready.
As we knew this would happen we reserved 123 specimens before Tucson
specially for this update. These include the new material we took to Tucson,
such as the Pyromorphites from Brezies (La Vidale, France), as well as some
unusual material: Brazilian Svanbergites, Portuguese Plattnerites, and the
Spanish Fluorites from Yanci. There are also suites of attractive material
such as the Brumado Uvites, El Horcajo Pyromorphites, Massabè Amethyst
Quartz, the Folch and Silvane Collections, and many other varied, select
specimens at good prices.

Please note that given that we will be at the two shows we mentioned we will
not be able to start to ship specimens before the 10 March, which is when we
get back from Madrid.
