250 years of the Staatliche Wissenschaftliche Museen Dresden On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of the existence of the Staatliche Wissenschaftliche Museen Dresden, the Ministry of Posts and Telecommunications of the German Democratic Republic issues six multicolored special postage stamps. Special cancellations from October 24 to December 23, 1978 250th anniversary of the Staatliche Wissenschaftliche Museen Dresden In October 1978, the three Dresden Science Museums - The State Museum of Animal Science (10 and 20 Pfennig value), the State Museum of Mineralogy and Geology ( 25- and 35-pfennig value) and the State Mathematical-Physical Salon (40- and 50-pfennig value) its 250th anniversary. For this reason, these six special postage stamps appear with representations of rare exhibits from the individual collections of these museums. With the dissolution of the Electoral Saxon Kunstkammer in 1728, these museums became independent; It was only after the division of the extensive, very diverse holdings that the arbitrary and unscientific accumulated collections of representations of the private feudal rarity chamber gradually developed into public, scientifically directed and also evaluated collections. These museums, which have been research centers for years, are today among the most famous and well-known museums in the world within their scientific disciplines. The agate - here on the 25-pfennig value, a banded., Variegated and extremely fine-grained variety of quartz, has enjoyed great popularity for centuries as a gem stone, although this material is relatively common. Also in the GDR lie well-known find points, which were also exploited at different times. Processed material from Oberschlottwitz near Glashütte and from Halsbach near Freiberg is very common. Aside from such mineral channels, agates also form in cavities in volcanic rocks. This includes this rare agate from Wiederau near Rochlitz. In 1716 the deposit was discovered and mined only until 1721.
