[Rockhounds] Heading to Europe

[Herwig Pelckmans]

Gary, Freiberg in (former Eastern) Germany is THE place to be for mineral
museums!
With "Terra Mineralia", one of the finest mineral museums on earth.
And two other mineral museums in the same old mining town.
You can spend days there just looking at specimens!

Here is a list of links to Mineral Museums in Germany:
