Verona Mineral Show Verona

The Verona Mineral Show is an internationally renowned trade and public fair focused on minerals, fossils, gemstones, and related products. Held twice a year—under the name Geo Business in spring and Geo Shop in winter—it transforms the prestigious Veronafiere exhibition center into a central hub for collectors, professionals, and enthusiasts of the geosciences. Organized by Veronafiere S.p.A., one of Italy’s most established exhibition organizers based in Verona, the event benefits from the reputation of Northern Italy’s largest trade fair company with a long-standing tradition of success.

The show offers an impressive variety of high-quality exhibits, ranging from rare and exotic minerals and fossils from various geological eras to cut and uncut gemstones, artistic jewelry, sparkling crystals, captivating geodes, and exclusive collector’s items. This rich assortment is complemented by scientific publications, specialized literature, and tools and equipment tailored to the needs of collectors and experts.

A distinctive feature of the event is its educational and innovative approach. Workshops, expert lectures, and information booths provide new insights for anyone interested in mineralogy, paleontology, or gemstone processing. An annual competition for the best mineral find promotes international exchange within the professional community and draws additional attention.

In addition to its professional organization and content quality, the fair also benefits from its location: Verona, a UNESCO World Heritage city with a rich history, striking architecture, and vibrant cultural scene, attracts an international audience and enhances the event’s status as a cultural and economic highlight of the region. Dating back to ancient times, Verona was a key trading center for gemstones and minerals—a tradition that continues today in a modern form through the exhibition.

With its clear focus, international orientation, and strong regional roots, the Verona Mineral Show has established itself as one of the most important platforms in the field—informative, distinctive, and highly specialized for anyone eager to explore the fascinating world of geosciences.

The Verona Mineral Show takes place half-yearly, and therefore for the 73rd time previsibly in November 2025 in Verona.
