Hi Frank , I'm very sorry to has been not so active in the forum .
Thanks for question . Our micromineralogical week end is normally at june on beginning. Normally we decide in the second half of the previous year , means second half of 2013 . We should verify the hotels, B&B availability , because next year is the world exposition in Milano from May to october. Likely a grow up of prices. last year we organized an enological tour on saturday , with visit in italian "champagne" cellars ( Franciacorta area , near brescia ) , with tastes and explications of the procedures. With a great dinner in a so called "agriturismo" . With self producing wines and grappa ( grapes distillate) . Sunday exchange micro , with a little bag of rough material as gift to all participants. ca 52 microscopes . Good friendly enviroment. German, austrian , french participants. I keep you informed .
As you see from our site , we , as GOM visited many localities. If you are interested in some , to post in your site , mostly we have photos of them with samples. You can only ask . It could be namibia , or kola or others . I can send photos and you could use my articles on web site. I only ask to mention the photograph , and GOM as article writer.
Further , i have to ask you if you have some article on Habachtal. I'm with not mineralogist friends this summer , only to look and try to wash some sand to challenge luck. If you have some map. Just in case.
Best Regards
Marco
