Displays (in the Atrium)

Fine art paintings - Chris Duque-Smith will be bringing a selection of his mineral paintings along with limited edition prints and fine art cards. The paintings have been exhibited internationally at Tucson, Munich, Denver, Taipai, Edinburgh and St-Marie Aux Mines, so it's a great pleasure to have them at this year's Sussex show.

Display of minerals from Lavrion, Greece - Courtesy of Nick Hawes and Steve Burchmore.  Lavrion minerals were mined for over 3,000 years, from the Bronze age to recent times. The silver from there funded Athens in their war with Sparta!  The deposit is one of the world’s most interesting localities with an extremely broad range of minerals, many of which are beautifully coloured.   The displays will include some information on the locality and its minerals as well as an eye catching array of some of the minerals that can be found there. 

​​

​Faroe Islands Display - Courtesy of Colin Brough.  Sussex Mineral and Lapidary Society has visited the Faroe Islands on two occasions to collect Zeolites. The display, supported by a talk, will show the wide variety of excellent zeolites from the Faroe's and include details of the locations.

 

The Fossils of Sussex - An abundance of fine fossils can be found at various places in Sussex. This display will show some examples of these from two very different geologic environments - the marine strata of the Chalk of Beachy Head and the estuarine beds of the Hastings area. The area is famed for its fossils of ancient vertebrates (especially dinosaurs) and some of these will also be exhibited.

Polished Spheres - a wondrous collection of polished spheres made from different minerals.
