Mineral Days Zurich Spreitenbach

The Mineral Days Zurich, held annually in November in Spreitenbach, is an international event for enthusiasts of minerals, fossils, and jewelry. Organized by Kurt Worni, this fair provides a unique platform where dealers and collectors from around the world can showcase their fascinating finds and creations. Visitors have the opportunity to admire and purchase rare and valuable exhibits from the Swiss mountains as well as international minerals..

The fair is distinguished by its diverse offerings and services. Highlights include the opportunity for visitors to bring their own minerals for identification, as well as practical activities like gemstone testing, soapstone grinding, and a mineral identification stand. A special feature is the raffle of selenite lamps, a coveted collector's item.

The Zurich Mineral Days are closely linked with 'Strahlen', a traditional and popular activity in Switzerland. 'Strahlen' refers to the search and collection of minerals in the Swiss mountains, a practice deeply rooted in Swiss culture. The fair offers a platform for 'Strahlers' to present their mountain-found minerals. These finds are often of high quality and rarity, making them a major attraction of the fair.

The venue, the Environment Arena in Spreitenbach, adds an extra dimension to the fair. This modern location is known for its focus on sustainability and environmental protection, aligning perfectly with the fair's theme of celebrating the earth's natural beauty and diversity.

Overall, the Zurich Mineral Days offer a fascinating and educational experience for anyone interested in the world of minerals and fossils, whether as a hobby or professional interest.

The Mineral Days Zurich will take place on 2 days from Saturday, 30. November to Sunday, 01. December 2024 in Spreitenbach.
