Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines 2025: 60 Years of Passion for Minerals and Gems
This week, the small town of Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, nestled in the heart of Alsace, is celebrating the 60th anniversary of its iconic Mineral & Gem Show. Running until Sunday, this annual event brings together exhibitors from around the world, passionate collectors, seasoned buyers… and all lovers of precious stones.
This international fair is one of the must-attend gatherings to admire exceptional specimens, exchange with experts, and perhaps even expand your own gem collection.
What makes the event even more special is its setting: the rolling landscapes of Alsace, its generous cuisine, and renowned wines. A sensory journey as much as a scientific and cultural event.
In the area this weekend? Make a stop in Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines — and don’t forget to try the tarte flambée… in moderation, of course. 😉
