About
Since 1994 agate collectors have met at the Hormersdorf youth hostel – according to the organizers the world's first show devoted purely to agates. Only quartz minerals are admitted: agates, amethyst, jasper and petrified wood, no set jewelry; the show is privately run and non-commercial, dealers only by exception. On the Saturday before the show there are field trips in the morning and talks in the evening. Visitors can stay overnight at the hostel, and children can join a free gemstone rally.
Free admission.
