On April 9, members of our Chapter, the SGA Baltic Student Chapter, and the SEG Student Chapter Freiberg began the Hungarian field trip at the Gánt bauxite deposit. Here, we were introduced to the regional geology of Hungary as well as the local geology of the deposit. Apart from the aluminium ore, we collected some high-quality UV-active gypsum crystals. The day continued at the Nagybörzsöny ore district, a highly evolved hydrothermal system with unusual bismuth–tellurium mineralisation, and concluded with panning almandine garnets from stream sediments.
