Zeehan Mineral Fair - 2009

Hi all,

The 2009 Zeehan Mineral fair (Tasmania) was held this weekend, I went yesterday (Saturday) to have a look at new Tassie and other minerals but also to catchup with the fairly small group of mineral collectors etc from our State.

The weather was fantastic, two warm\hot days with blue sky's, yep that was the yearly allocation of fine weather, so back to rain and drizzle for the next 362 days for the West coasters.

Saturday had the best attendance for the last few years, really good news, however the fact a number of the mines are now in care and maintenance, the amount of local minerals was down in number and lacking variety.

Anyway I took a couple of photos so in a few days I will do a bigger article on the show.

Terminations not Facets

I thought that the attendance was down Andrew. Lots of people in around lunchtime, but almost empty from 1.30 onwards.

Fireworks were the best yet though!

Steve

Sunday seemed pretty quiet, but at the end of the day (well 3pm when we packed up) we found we had sold a fair amount (but mostly to other dealers). There was some interesting material from Bischoff and Avebury that will need some close study.
