Phraseology. We live in a World which is characterized by instability ,
disequilibrium and high speeds .T he collection of minerals , fossils and
gemstones has followed the heady rhythms of our times. The collectors
today can find hundreds if not thousands - sites in the Web , where they can
easily locate a mineral and/or fossil they are interested for. The search has
been facilitated and accelerated via the search engines such as Google , Yahoo

Kriti Island is located in Southernmost point of Aegean Archipelago in Southeastern Mediterranean and is an
ideal destination for Summer Vacation. But also Kriti island is an ideal destination for Collectors of Minerals and
Fossils. This report provide location for some localities only, as the rest of the Island is waiting for Collectors to
discover Earth Treasures. Keep you eyes open while there and send news in brief to share with other
collectors and do not forget that you always win in life by sharing with others. Nopigia , Platanos , Sfinari and
Prases are 4 of the numerous localities to search for quartz crystals. It does not mean that these 4 localities see
above are the best. There are more and if you find them let us know !
Aghia Pelagia yields nice specimens of epidote with quartz crystals , in Psyhro you will fine Calcite crystals
while in Tsoutsouros is a location for fossils .But well preserved fossils can be also found in many localities in
Kriti Island. Perfect fossil fishes like Mene Psarianosi Symeonidis (see Fossil Postage Stamp , in page 17 of
this issue ) have been found and there are more as school of fishes were trapped there. In Moni Arvis you

Plentity of blue and green obsidian silver jewellery exists in the Market. Most common colors of
obsidian , a Natural Glass of Volcanic origin , are black , rusty brown and gray. A
Paraiba color
or
neon blue obsidianor sea green obsidian has entered dynamically in the Gemstone Industry.
A possible source seems to be Indonesia.
In the phorographs above one can see 1. Sterling silver obsidian pendant 2. Sterling silver green quartz
pendant 3. Simulated sterling silver obsidian pendant and 4. Sterling Silver obsidian pendant .
Many people want to know : Is this a natural gem obsidian ? Quite a few argue that this Sea green obsidian is
a man-made color glass. The other day walking in the streets of my Native City , Piraeus , Hellas , I noticed
that the Vitrines of a known Fashion Shop named BOOM , located in the corner of King George and
Kountouriotou str. , were decorated with Museum size sea green transparent pieces of
Paraiba obsidian
[ See photographs 5 -12 in page 23 ]. I asked the people at BOOM and they told me that the material was
sand blasted colored man-made glass. The quality and the color were excellent .What we would call AAA
Quality Gem Rough. As attractive color , hardness and cleanness are some of the main characteristics of a
gemstone (the other is rarity) , it is more than sure that those pieces cut properly would give thousands of
carats of beautiful simulated blue and green obsidian suitable for making jewellery.

- Most of major European Mineral, Gem and Fossil shows take place in Western Europe . GeMin show in
Athens ,Hellas , is the unique event of its kind which covers the Mineral, Gem , Jewellery and Fossil activities ,
Industry and Earth Sciences and fills the gap in Southeastern Europe. ORYKTOLOGIKA NEA-NEWS ON
MINERALS is widely known that sponsors the GeMin show since 1987 , but our publication has and will
continue to support within its possibilities any effort on Earth Sciences and especially on Minerals, Gems and
Fossils. We always believe that this is the only way to enhance the Sciences of Mineralogy , Paleontology in the
form of hobby as well as enhance the Gem Industry. It is the least acknowledgement to all those people who
look for minerals ,gems and fossils in the remote areas of the Earth and bring them in front of Collectors at
various Shows. It is the least acknowledgement to all those suppliers of Gem Rough and superb Mineral and
Fossil Specimens from around the World.
One of the most striking features of Athens GeMin show is its substantial sales potential as Hellas is one of
major tourist destinations in the World and apart from collectors in Hellas ,thousands of collectors come as
tourists and buy minerals, gems and fossils. Companies have realized this and so there is an inflow of material
every year in the Market here.
- GeMin show is the most comfortable show in Europe as the organizing Committee takes care for the
comfortness both the Exhibitors and the visitors. A great deal of superb specimens ,gems and fossils are
expected to be on display during 22nd GeMin 2008 to be held in Athens on 28-29-30 November 2008 and
we invite all to be present in this big event in Athens either as Exhibitors or as Visitors.
-Another parameter which is seriously taken into consideration by the Organizing Committee of GeMin is the
junior section : The future are the pupils ,the students and in general the younger generation of collectors ,so
schools are urged and invited to visit GeMin ,so young people have the chance to come across with mineral
specimens, gems and fossils but also with educational products on Earth Sciences.
