The trade fair opens at 10:00 a.m. on both days, and on Saturday at 2:00 p.m. the trade fair invites visitors to the opening ceremony with the German Gemstone Queen Vivian Heidrich, who will certainly be available for autographs and photos afterwards. MineralienWelt is crowned by an annually changing special show that regularly amazes even the experts. This year, everything revolves around tourmaline. Its almost infinite variety of colors is unique in the mineral kingdom. But its diversity of shapes is also unsurpassed. In most cases, the richness of colors and shapes of a tourmaline crystal is not visible from the outside; only the crystal cut into slices reveals its true splendor. These cross-sections give the viewer an insight into the interior of the tourmaline, revealing the secrets of its crystallization like a biography. The “Tourmaline Room”, in which the cut tourmaline slices are illuminated from behind, will delight visitors.
