are few references in the Franconian Forest, which landed in the expanded focus of the mineral-collector (and remain) are. As an example I would cite the mine mountain near Rucker Lichtenberg, known for their outstanding Malachite beyond the borders of north-eastern Bavaria. The large anatase crystals from Köditz at court today are in many collections. All in all, (did) not the area between Kronach, Hof and Bayreuth, the incentive such as the adjacent Fichtelgebirge or as the more distant Saxon. Vogtland and Erzgebirge.
However, the minerals do not hide from the Franconian Forest: Of the many old mine dumps and from a variety of quarries can also still hold a lot of good material with micro-minerals in first-class education. In this blog I will soon introduce an occasional series of some of these sites.
