George and I have just picked up the collection of Dr Ernst Peter Uerpmann from deepest Spain.
The collection of over 3,000 pieces has been in storage since 2002 when Peter moved from Germany to Alicante on his retirement; there are several interesting suites and many classic localities/minerals represented.
Also for those interested in Tsumeb, Peter's collection features at least 500 pieces with a good mix of historic rare and aesthetic specimens.
We will start listing items from the collection from the beginning of October 2016, the plan is to present everything on e-Rocks.
A couple of mineral snaps from our visit are below.
