Västerås Mineral Fair 2000


A special thank to the members of Västerås Geologiska Sällskap who have worked hard for the mineral fair to be possible.
And of course, all nice people that came to the fair. Without dealers or visitors there is no fair.

Glasgruvan, Sala

 Well, I guess that a full weekend of minerals isn't enough. On the way back to the north we stopped in Sala to see if I finally had found out where the elusive Glasgruvan is located. We made a quick stop, only 15 minutes, and finally, after four years I finnaly found Glasgruvan. It isn't hard to find ... if you know where to look.
