Dear Eric,

in the name of my mother Christine and my family I would like to inform you about the sudden death of my father Eberhard.

 

He died on Friday, the 11 th of November, within few seconds, without any suffer, in the middle of a positive phase of recovery

and medical rehabilitation togehter with my mother, after having got over a heart attack.

 

The rehabilitation time was 3 weeks near Berlin together with Christine, a fantastic time !

 

Althougth his deathcame suddenly and unexpectedly, he still could reach his target to publish his third book, which cope with his

great demands on his own work.

 

It is very sad to say, that there will be no further "Mineralogical Masterpieces".

 

However, for me as  his son, it is very inspiring, that he gave me the job to keep and liven up in his sense the chapter

 

" EBERHARD EQUIT - LIFE´S WORK AND LEGACY".

 

I will contact you, when the occasien arises, to inform about the next steps.

 

In memory still find enclosed a photography of my father in his working room.

 

With my best wishes from Berlin,

 

Alexander

 

 

Eberhard est mort.

 

Il n'était pas à Munich cette année du fait de son infarctus du myocarde qui l'avait cloué à l'hôpital quelques temps avant le show. Son fils s'était installé vers le 'mineral pavillon' pour vendre les dernières copies de son dernier opus : Drawings of Mineral Masterpieces (dont je pense que Le Règne Minéral possède encore quelques copies à la vente ?)

Il avait déjà produit les merveilleux Meisterwerke Sächsischer Mineralien et The world's mineral masterpieces.

Littéralement les plus beaux livres de cailloux jamais publiés !
