At the Ofenwerk, selected international exhibitors show a wide variety of minerals, fossils and meteorites – rare collector's pieces as well as decorative natural treasures, for beginners and experienced collectors alike.

Crystals, geodes, rough and healing stones, fossils from around the world, geology tools, books, sorting boxes and geode cracking complete the offer.
