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

Mineral Days St.Gallen 2026 – Crystal Paradise Is There

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

What Are the Mineral and Fossil Days St.Gallen?

The Mineral and Fossil Days St.Gallen are an international trade fair for minerals, fossils, gemstones, and related natural products. The event attracts thousands of visitors every year. It is aimed at experienced collectors as well as beginners who want to explore the world of minerals more intensively for the first time. In addition to sales booths, the fair often offers expert talks, mineralogical information, and the opportunity for direct conversations with experts.

St.Gallen is located in eastern Switzerland and can be easily reached from Munich by train or car in about 2.5 hours. The fair usually takes place in spring. For mineral enthusiasts from Bavaria, Baden-Württemberg, Austria, and all of German-speaking Switzerland, it is a fixed date on the annual calendar. You can find a current overview of the fair program directly on the official website of Naturalis St.Gallen.

Crystal Paradise at the Mineral Days 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 that every visitor find out in advance which highlights will be available at the booth.

Our team is bringing a curated selection from the entire Crystal Paradise range to St.Gallen. As always, the focus 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 pieces with documented locality and mineralogical classification
• crystalpower® products – including bracelets, water stones, and our popular water bottles
• Fossils and petrifications from various epochs of Earth's history

Anyone interested in special minerals from certain regions of origin can already find a selection in our online shop: Buy minerals from Brazil or discover our minerals from Afghanistan – both regions are known for extraordinary finds.

Highlights at the Crystal Paradise Booth – 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 irradiation within the rock. Brazil, particularly the state of Rio Grande do Sul, is the world's most significant supplier of amethyst geodes and specimens.

In stone lore, amethyst is traditionally associated with inner peace and clarity. It is said, according to traditional lore, to support calming the mind and strengthening one's own intuition. This is not scientifically proven – but as decoration and a collector's piece, amethyst is undisputedly a classic.

Labradorite from Madagascar

Labradorite is a feldspar mineral with a Mohs hardness of 6 to 6.5. What makes labradorite fascinating is the so-called labradorescence: a shimmering play of colors in blue, green, gold, and sometimes violet, caused by light refraction at thin layer boundaries within the crystal. Madagascar produces some of the highest-quality labradorite pieces in the world.

In stone lore, labradorite is considered a stone of transformation. It is traditionally said to protect the wearer from negative energies and accompany processes of change.

Fossils from the Triassic and Jurassic

In addition to minerals, we will also be showing a selection of fossils in St.Gallen. Particularly popular are ammonites, which populated 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 to Earth's history – a real added value for collectors who value provenance and documentation.

Practical Tips for Your Visit to the Mineral Days St.Gallen 2026

Preparation Is Everything

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

1. Arrive early: Experience shows that the best pieces are usually sold out within the first 2 hours after the fair opens.
2. Make a wish list: Think in advance about which minerals or stone types you're looking for. This saves time and money.
3. Set a budget: Temptation runs high at mineral fairs. A clear budget helps you keep track.
4. Ask questions: Good dealers like Crystal Paradise will always tell you the origin, mineral type, and特殊features of the piece.
5. Bring cash: Many exhibitors prefer cash payment, even though card payment is becoming more common.

What to Consider After Your Purchase

New minerals and crystals should be cleaned after purchase and – if desired – energetically charged. For this, we recommend our blog article How to 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 prevent oxidation.
