It's the summer of 2019 and we head back to France to check out the Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines show - one of the four largest mineral shows in the world.
As we wander the picturesque street of Ste-Marie, we find some incredible minerals from dealers such as:
+ Jordi Fabre
+ UK Mining Ventures
+ Crystal Classics
+ Marcus Budil
+ Anton Watzl Fine Minerals
+ Wendel Minerals
+ Merveilles de la Terre (see NOTE below)
+ Mineralogical Collection Professionals
+ Saphira
+ Cristalli
+ Greenfields
+ Alain Martaud
+ Matrix India
+ And MUCH more!!!
NOTE: Michel Cabrol, at location 57:47 in the film, shares with us the INCREDIBLE Azurite, "Fish" that showed up in Ste. Marie. In the on-screen title, his company is listed as, "Anton Watzl Mineals" this is an OBVIOUS mistake. Michel's company is, "Merveilles de la Terre" as has been a guest on our programs MANY times. The rest of the information on the screen is correct so if you want to get in contact with Michel, or his wife Claudette, you can still use that information. We apologize to Michel and Claudette for the mistake.
SPECIAL NOTE: We are releasing this film so that it is FREE to the public via KZfaq. This is in reaction to the current new Coronavirus pandemic that is sweeping the world. The best advice to help head off this disease (other than washing hands, covering your coughs and not touching our faces) is self-isolation. So in this time of self-isolation, we at BlueCap Productions wanted to try and provide at least a little relief to the mineral collecting community with this free copy of this film. Please enjoy and be safe.
