23 September 2024: two kroner and lots of euros
We were delighted to invite you to enjoy delicious dishes from the food truck at the autumn house fair. In return, we asked for donations for the flood victims in Brazil, the home of agate and amethyst.
The donations totalled €1,214.26 - and two Danish kroner! We doubled this amount and will transfer the donation to the Brazil Flood Responds Fund of the Rotary Club Soledade in the next few days.
September 22, 2024: Last day of the house fair!
Experience shows that things start a little later on Sunday than on the other days of the fair. We made the most of the time and stocked up again..
The full program also awaits you on the last day of the fair: lots of new products and rarities, workshops and lectures and of course up to 12% in-house discount!
Take the opportunity to choose from the extra-large range and secure your top sellers for the Christmas business now!
September 21, 2024: Stones, jewelry workshops and sunshine
Both the mood and the weather were great on the second day of the house fair.
A large selection of new products and rarities, new jewelry design workshops and afterwards there were refreshments from the food truck and conversations with colleagues.
September 19, 2024: Impressions from the first day of the house fair
September 19, 2024: We look forward to seeing you!
The large tent is well filled with gemstones and minerals from all over the world and there is also plenty to discover on the three floors of the mineral shop with rarities, novelties and bargains!
So grab your mole savings book and head for Ludwigsburg!
September 18, 2024: Everything is ready for the jewellery workshops
Everything is ready for the jewellery workshops in the seminar house cafeteria. Under the expert guidance of the Chili Creative team, great pieces of jewellery are created with gemstones - there are seven different workshops to choose from!
Time: 10 am - 12 pm and 2 pm - 4 pm on all four days of the house
Price: 9 €/workshop (incl. material for a complete piece of jewellery)
Registration: not necessary - just come along and get creative!
September 17, 2024: It's getting colorful in the tent!
Tumbled stones, crystals, agate butterflies, carnelian, chrysocolla and much more chase away the somewhat dull and gray autumn weather.
We have to correct our weather forecast for the house fair: it will be a late summer day with 26° and the sun will also make an appearance.
September 16, 2024: The tents get filled
The interior of the large tent is almost finished, then the pallets can begin to be put inside.
The numerous boxes and crates of minerals, gemstones and more are still waiting in the hall.
September 13, 2024: All items in the webshop?!
Why is it still worth visiting the house fair in Ludwigsburg despite the webshop with over 18,000 items?
Many rarities and novelties only come in small quantities, e.g. the kunzite crystals. The quantity that remains after the house fair is too small for the webshop.
And some items are simply far too different for the webshop, such as this green conichalcite.
The house fair is ideal for discovering these treasures, rarities and small lots!
13 September 2024: It's raining...
...but the hard-working employees of Zeltbau Fischer are still busy setting up the large house fair tent. The interior fittings will start on Monday, followed by the minerals and gemstones. And from Thursday everything will be ready!
The weather forecast for the house fair: pleasant 20° and a bit of sunshine.
12 September 2024: Suggestions for creatives
In our showroom you will find a wide range of beads - even more than in our webshop. Enjoy the shapes and colours!
New strands in beautiful autumn colours have arrived for the house fair, including agate with different pattern, green disthene and lepidolite.
September 11, 2024: new key rings
For the keys to first home as couple, the bicycle lock or the display cases in the shop - key rings are always needed!
New models with popular and affordable gemstones, e.g. rose quartz, blue quartz and aventurine, available at the autumn house fair!
September 10, 2024: New creative jewelry workshops
Take advantage of your visit to the house fair and learn the basic techniques of bead stringing and jewelry design in short workshops! All techniques can be learned quickly and can be used immediately to create your own creations, fulfill customer wishes and carry out small repairs yourself.

September 09, 2024: Off to the final spurt!
Last week, a large sea freight and an additional air freight arrived. Lots and lots of boxes to unpack! How good that school is starting again today and all our colleagues who are on vacation are back - so we can join forces for the final spurt of preparations.
Numerous new materials for bead stringing have just arrived. We are also offering workshops for using the new strings during the house fair - details will be available tomorrow!
September 4, 2024: Topics and times of the lectures are fixed!
11 am: The magic of amethyst
Amethyst seems to be an all-rounder. Not only is it one of the best-known gemstones, but it can also be used in a variety of ways: for meditation, as a protective stone, for cleansing, for striking out and much more.
In this hands-on lecture, you will learn the most important information about cleansing with amethyst, how to perform an energetic cleansing and how the gemstone can act as an energy shower.
3 pm: Meridians, reflex points and gemstones
Meridians run through our entire body like an energy system. The ancient knowledge from Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM) is reflected in yoga exercises and now also in gemstone wellness.
With the help of selected gemstones, the meridians and acupressure points can be specifically activated and thus have a positive effect on our well-being. As always, the lecture offers the opportunity to put what you have heard into practice immediately. For example, you can look forward to the acupressure point for targeted relaxation.
Both lectures (german language) by Monika Grundmann will take place on all four days of the house fair. Registration is not necessary.
September 3, 2024: Don't forget your Mole Savings Book
Please bring your Mole Savings Book to the house fair! It's only nine weeks until the draw for the 2024 winning savings books!

September 2, 2024: Such a beautiful blue colour!
Just sorting in the warehouse:
Fantastic blue azurites from the Malbunka Copper Mine in the Northern Territory, Australia
August 29, 2024: New: Mineral boxes with barite
Look forward to beautiful barite specimens from Morocco in various sizes at the house fair! Due to its favourable price, barite is an interesting mineral for beginners in mineral collecting.
August 28, 204: Thank you from Brazil
During the summer house fair, we asked you for donations for the victims of the devastating floods in Brazil, the home of Amethyst.
Thanks to your donation, the local Rotary Club was able to help seven families with furniture and household appliances. As there are still many families in need, we are also asking for your donation at the autumn house fair.
August 26, 2024: Greetings from India
India has numerous minerals to offer: Sunstone, heliotrope, sardonyx, moss agate and garnet are just a few of the popular gemstones. We bought a container of rough material and had it processed into obelisks, spheres, polished stones and more in our own genstone factory in Haifeng.
August 23, 2024: The VIPs are coming!
Today marks the start of this year's big pumpkin exhibition at the Blühenden Barock, just a few minutes' drive from our wholesale exhibition!
This year's theme is VIPs, the Very Important Persons, celebrities from all over the world. Fred Feuerstein will be there, as will Pippi Langstrumpf, Sophie Scholl and Frieda Kahlo.
Make the most of your visit and spend the evening relaxing among the pumpkins.

August 20, 2024: Still closed!
At the moment, the bargain market is still closed, as we are right now in the middle of preparations. Based on the inventory data, we are in the process of identifying numerous remaining items and overstocks - these can then be found at significantly reduced prices in the bargain market at the autumn in-house exhibition.
12 August 2024: Treasures found....
Once again waiting for the sea freight...
As the sea freight from China is delayed, we have used the time to unearth some treasures. Thanks to the inventory, we have found some older merchandise in our large high rackwarehouse - mostly items that are otherwise no longer available in this quality or at this low price. For the autumn house fair, you can look forward to slabs of ocean jasper, opal hand flatterers and lepidolite cluster, for example.
05 August 2024: There will be drilling!
After the great success at the summer house fair, we have once again invited the gemstone cutter Gernot Jung.
He will be drilling your crystals, tumbled stones and small rough stones at a special price during the autumn house fair so that they can then be worn on a leather sting, for example.
30 July 2024: Amethyst can do everything?!
Amethyst certainly can't do everything, but you can do a lot with amethyst...
Monika Grundmann will explain the numerous possible applications of the gemstone in a hands-on lecture. We are still working on the exact content of the lecture at the moment.
Do you have a request regarding the content of the lecture? Then please send us a short email! If possible, we will incorporate your request into the lecture. The language of the presentation will be German.
