Mineral brands from Italy and across Europe will gather to bring a feast of mineral collections to the mineral enthusiasts in the northwest of Italy. Whether you are an experienced mineral specimen collector or new to the field, you won’t want to miss this precious opportunity!
Rare Mineral Specimens from Around the World in Euromineral Expo
We will be showcasing exquisite mineral specimens from Brazil, the USA, and other regions, meeting Italian collectors and offering a display of the most representative minerals from across the globe.
Marcasite from Iowa, the USA
From the Linwood Mine in Iowa, USA, this Marcasite boasts fine crystals with high integrity. It’s a classic piece in any mineral specimen collection.
Calcite from Iowa, the USA
This Calcite, also from the Linwood Mine, is found in association with Marcasite. Its translucent quality and pearly luster contrast beautifully with the metallic shine of the Marcasite, making it a highly valuable mineral specimen for collectors.
Grossular Garnet from Mexico
With its vibrant colors and stacked crystals, this Grossular Garnet exudes liveliness, making it an essential piece for serious mineral specimen collectors.
Fluorite from Xianghualing, China
This fluorite from Hunan, China, features crystals resembling green jelly. With calcite, this mineral specimen offers a scenic and collectible piece with rich imagery and layers.
Rhodochrosite from Sweet Home Mine, USA
Since the closure of the renowned Sweet Home Mine in Colorado, Rhodochrosite specimens from this location have become increasingly rare. This large Rhodochrosite crystal exemplifies the hallmark characteristics of Sweet Home Mine pieces, making it a classic in mineral specimen collections.
Mango Quartz from Colombia
Known as Mango Quartz due to the Halloysite giving its tip a mango hue, this phenomenon is almost exclusively found in Colombian quartz. The mango quartz crystal clusters are often accompanied by small, clear crystals, creating a delicate, flower-like appearance. However, the production of Colombian Mango Quartz has declined since last year, so this is a chance you won't want to miss for your collection.
Hematite "Iron Rose" from Brazil
Brazil's iconic hematite specimens are known for their rose shape. Whether it’s the specular sheen of metallic hematite or the more subtle matte varieties, both offer collectors a rich display of Brazil’s mineral wealth.
Tourmaline in Quartz from Brazil
Green Tourmaline crystals embedded in Quartz are a favorite among collectors. Carefully polished, each mineral specimen reveals unique craftsmanship, making it a bright spot in any mineral specimen collection.
the Munich Show
After the Turin Mineral Show, don’t forget to visit the Munich Show, one of the world's top three mineral specimen events. We look forward to sharing even more exquisite mineral specimens with collectors from around the world.
