Crystal Paradise at the St.Gallen Mineral and Fossil Days 2026

Mineralientage St.Gallen 2026 – Crystal Paradise will be there

The Mineralientage St.Gallen 2026 are among the most important mineral and fossil days in Switzerland. Every year, collectors, dealers, and mineral enthusiasts from across the German-speaking world gather in St.Gallen to discover rare pieces, exchange knowledge, and experience unique finds from all over the world up close. Crystal Paradise from Feldkirchen near Munich will once again be an exhibitor in 2026 – with a carefully curated assortment of hand-picked minerals, healing stones, and crystals.

What are the Mineralien- und Fossilientage St.Gallen?

The Mineralien- und Fossilientage St.Gallen are an international trade fair for minerals, fossils, gemstones, and related natural products. The event attracts thousands of visitors annually. It is aimed at both experienced collectors and beginners who want to explore the world of minerals more intensely for the first time. In addition to sales booths, the fair often offers specialist lectures, mineralogical information, and the opportunity for direct discussion with experts.

St.Gallen is located in eastern Switzerland and is easily accessible from Munich by train or car in approximately 2.5 hours. The fair usually takes place in spring. For mineral enthusiasts from Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Austria, and the entire German-speaking part of Switzerland, it is a fixed date in their annual calendar. An up-to-date overview of the fair program can be found directly on the official website of Naturalis St.Gallen.

Crystal Paradise at Mineralientage St.Gallen 2026 – What awaits you

From years of experience as an exhibitor at mineral and fossil fairs, we know: personal contact makes the difference. We recommend every visitor to the fair to inform themselves in advance about what highlights will be available at the stand.

Our team will bring a curated selection from the entire Crystal Paradise range to St.Gallen. The focus, as always, is on hand-picked unique pieces that we have personally checked for quality and authenticity. These include, among others:

• Raw minerals and specimens from classic localities such as Brazil, Madagascar, Morocco, and Afghanistan
• Polished freeforms and spheres made of rose quartz, amethyst, labradorite, and other popular stone types
• Rare collector's items with documented locality and mineralogical classification
• crystalpower® products – including bracelets, water stones, and our popular water bottles
• Fossils and petrified remains from various eras of Earth's history

If you are interested in special minerals from specific regions of origin, you can find a selection in our online shop beforehand: Buy minerals from Brazil or discover our minerals from Afghanistan – both regions are known for exceptional finds.

Highlights at the Crystal Paradise Stand – Selected Pieces from Around the World

Amethyst from Brazil

Amethyst belongs to the quartz group and has a Mohs hardness of 7. The violet color is caused by iron ions and natural radiation in the rock. Brazil, especially the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is the world's most important supplier of amethyst geodes and specimens.

In lithotherapy, amethyst is traditionally associated with inner peace and clarity. It is said, according to traditional belief, to help calm the mind and strengthen one's intuition. This is not scientifically proven – but as a decoration and collector's item, amethyst is undeniably a classic.

Labradorite from Madagascar

Labradorite is a feldspar mineral with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. The fascinating thing about labradorite is the so-called labradorescence: a shimmering play of colors in blue, green, gold, and sometimes violet, which is created by the refraction of light at thin layer boundaries in the crystal. Madagascar provides some of the highest quality labradorite pieces worldwide.

In lithotherapy, labradorite is considered a stone of transformation. It is traditionally attributed with protecting the wearer from negative energies and supporting processes of change.

Fossils from the Triassic and Jurassic

In addition to minerals, we will also showcase a selection of fossils in St.Gallen. Particularly popular are ammonites, which inhabited the seas over 65 million years ago, as well as shark teeth and trilobites from the Paleozoic era, which ended around 250 million years ago. Fossils are scientifically datable witnesses of Earth's history – a real added value for collectors who value origin and documentation.

Practical Tips for Your Visit to Mineralientage St.Gallen 2026

Preparation is everything

Those who come well-prepared to the fair will make the best finds. Here are our most important recommendations:

1. Arrive early: Experience shows that the best pieces are gone within the first 2 hours after the fair opens.
2. Create a wish list: Think in advance about which minerals or stone types you are looking for. This saves time and money.
3. Set a budget: The temptation is great for mineral strengths. A clear budget helps to keep track.
4. Ask questions: Good dealers like Crystal Paradise will always tell you the origin, mineral type, and special features of the piece.
5. Bring cash: Many exhibitors prefer cash payment, although card payment is becoming increasingly common.

What to consider after purchase

New minerals and crystals should be cleaned after purchase and – if desired – energetically charged. For this, we recommend our blog article Properly clean and charge crystals. There we explain step-by-step how to best care for your pieces.

Important: Water-soluble minerals such as halite or selenite should never be placed in water. Minerals with sensitive surfaces such as pyrite or rhodochrosite should be stored dry and protected from light to avoid oxidation.
