The Munich Show

Glenn was asked if he would like to do the Munich Show this year.
It is a very different type of venue and clientele to the American shows that he does each year. Consequently, it was a learning experience but a successful one.
The eye-catcher was the large slab of Tiger Eye (see photo above).
In the foreground of this same photo is a 800kg block of Mookaite. On the table next to it were polished slabs of that rock showing its beautiful colours.

In the foreground of the above photo is a 800kg block of gaspeite and on the table some slabs.

The top slab against the back wall under the light is a slice of a meteorite.
The large specimen to the left is orbicular granite.
The light green polished piece on the stand next to it is Variscite.
The show was contained in four halls like this (below).

Glenn was the only Australian there and the material he was selling was completely different to anything else in the show.

People were fascinated by the variety of colour and types of rocks.
We were told many times that Australian Outback Mining was the best booth in the show.
If we had charged for photos we could have made millions!

At one point we counted 58 people in the booth.

It was successful enough for Glenn to seriously consider going again next year.
