Ditch the shovel and grab your ticket for an epic treasure hunt at Fürth City Hall, where the event center becomes an El Dorado for mineral, fossil, and fine jewelry enthusiasts alike. Orchestrated by the Mineral Bourses Ria Mayer, this annual bash has been a tradition for over 40 years!
Featuring approximately 50 exhibitors from across the globe, the event boasts over 1,500 square meters of dazzling displays, encompassing everything from jaw-dropping crystals and rare minerals to rugged stones that have journeyed through the ages. The assortment doesn't end there! Intricately crafted jewelry, fossilized seashells, historical artifacts, and home décor items complete the extensive offering.
Goldsmiths and jewelry designers will be on hand to debut exclusive creations—from sparkling rings and necklaces to bracelets adorned with freshwater, South Sea, Akoya, or Tahiti pearls, sometimes encrusted with silver or gold.
