From March 20 - 23, 2025 the time has come: The first in-house exhibition of the year 2025 will take place!
Look forward to additional sales areas, e.g. in the tents in the front courtyard, lots of new goods, bargains and up to 12% house fair discount!
Open on all four days of the fair from 9.00 am to 6.00 pm.
Here in our house fair blog, we will keep you up to date with all the latest news about the spring house fair 2025!
Impressions of new articles, information on the jewelry workshops and lectures, promotions - on this page you will find everything you need to know about the house fair.
We look forward to seeing you again!
Thank you very much for visiting us!
The next house fair will take place from July 10 - 13, 2025 - all details on promotions, co-exhibitors, new goods, etc. will be available here soon.

24.03.2025: Checkout
At the last in-house fairs, we asked for donations for the victims of the flood disaster in Brazil. Thanks to your support, a total of 8097.24 euros was used to buy furniture, household items, school books and other necessities that were destroyed by the water. The worst damage has been repaired and now money is needed for long-term projects.
That's why we asked for donations at the spring open house for an ambulance for the Hospital de Caridade Frei Clemente. The hospital in Soledade has an important care function for the population in the surrounding rural area and is still affected by the consequences of the flood.
A total of 1246.70 €; was raised for the X-ray machine at the spring house fair, which we are passing on to the Rotary Club de Soledade - thank you very much for your donation!!!

14.03.2025: Greening the parking lot?!
What are the flower pots doing in the parking lot? Here the large house fair tent will be set up from midday today - parking is therefore no longer possible.

13.03.2025: Sea eyes with silver and gold-plated
Just out: new designer jewelry with nautilus shells, also known as “sea eyes”. Rings, earrings and more - wonderful harbingers of spring and summer!
12.03.2025: Lectures with Monika Grundmann
11 a.m. ‘Get rid of the ballast’ - carefree into spring with sodalite
The blue sodalite, which contains sodium, symbolises the element of water and helps to open the body's ‘exits’ and flush out toxins - the perfect stone for spring!
Find out in the lecture why sodalite is an integral part of the Gemstone Balance four-phase detox programme and how you can use it. Other topics include detox meditation with sodalite and - in keeping with World Water Day - gemstone water with sodalite.
Sodalite can also be worn directly on the body for support or applied as a drum or disc stone. As a therapy stone, it conveys the aspect of ‘getting into flow’ after the sluggish, lazy winter as well as truthfulness and loyalty to oneself.
15 Uhr "Yin und Yang" - in Harmonie kommen mit den Zenstones
Pranajama, the conscious breathing in modern yoga, can be given a whole new impetus with the Zen Stones. Whether before an important task or during a break - it is important to rebalance both halves of the brain and thus our sun and moon quality.
Especially in today's turbulent times, it is important to look at yourself and stabilise and harmonise your inner strength. Serpentine in particular helps to rebalance everything and thus face everyday life with renewed vigour.
Take the opportunity to find out more about these current topics in gemstone healing and gemstone wellness at the spring in-house exhibition! The two lectures with many tips from three decades of practised gemstone healing will take place on all four days of the in-house exhibition. No registration required
The lectures are exclusively for our specialised trade customers and are free of charge.

11.03.2025: A greeting from Saxony!
The rough material for new articles made of Stengel topaz comes from Altenberg in the Erzgebirge (Saxony, Germany). The site has been closed since 1991, but we were still able to get hold of a small batch of pyknite. We have processed these into slabs, rough stones and drilled stones in our cutting shop.
10.03.2025: Selenite engravings - light in its most beautiful form
Our new selenite engravings impress with their soft, natural glow. Even in low light, they develop a unique luminosity and create an almost magical atmosphere.
Cute rabbits in two sizes have been carved for the upcoming Easter season, while other models include Buddhas, dogs, cats, dolphins and angels.
07.03.2025: Please keep your fingers crossed!
Great new pieces of jewellery with ammolite have been created in our jewellery workshop in Bali.

04.03.2025: small treasures in the big tent
New minerals and gemstones have arrived from all over the world for the spring house fair, e.g. ruby in matrix from India and zebra amber from Indonesia.

28.02.2025: new drilled gemstones
Great new drilled stones on the large tables in the tent: tourmaline, maw-sit-sit, hematite quartz, angel aura, black tourmaline and many other.
Small quantities, different shapes, sizes and prices - therefore only available at the house fair on site in Ludwigsburg, not in the webshop!

26.02.2025: natural Copper in many sizes
Copper fascinates both mineral collectors with its diversity and gemstone therapists with its potential applications in stone healing. New at the in-house exhibition in the large tent:
Native copper as small rough pieces as well as slabs in many sizes.
24.02.2025: Fresh spring colors for your designs
The sea freight has finally arrived - at least most of it. Two boxes of chokers are still being inspected by customs, the remaining 223 boxes are just being unpacked.
The first to come to light are these great new strands in spring colors: orange calcite, yellow tiger's eye, pistachio opal, orange moonstone and yellow fluorite.
20.02.2025: New bargains!
There are currently around 1200 different items at special prices listed in the bargain section of our webshop . The bargain prices are of course also valid on site in Ludwigsburg and at the house fair.
In addition, there are lots of other bargains in our bargain market (Schnäppchenmarkt) in the old joinery that are not available online, but only at the house fair. Over the last few weeks, we have been stocking up - from amethyst druses to silver pendants, a lot of new items with bargain prices are available!
17.02.2025: Mushrooms in Osterholz?!
What at first glance looks like strange mushrooms in the ground turns out at second glance to be beautiful ammonites with a bed rock.
You will find these and many other small lots at the Spring House Fair in the large tent in the front courtyard.
13.02.2025: It's snowing!
While the Osterholz is being gently covered in snow, preparations are underway a few kilometers away for the opening after the winter break: the Blühende Barock will be open again from 21.023.2025, just in time for the spring house fair. Take advantage of your shopping trip to visit the fantastic gardens and enjoy the splendor of spring.
07.02.2025: Everything online in the webshop?
There are currently around 18,000 different items online in our wholesale webshop - including bargains and unique items. Despite this large selection, why is it worth going to the sales exhibition in Ludwigsburg and the in-house exhibition?
The answer is quite simple: not every available item makes it into the online store - sometimes, for example, shipping is not possible because the mineral is too fragile. Even small batches of inexpensive, different items are difficult to sell online, as the effort involved with images, text and storage space would be too costly. Or the items are so popular that they are already sold before we have time to put them online.
For these and many other reasons, it is always worth visiting our exhibition in Ludwigsburg!
03.02.2025: Stinged beads Larimar cheaper!
While we are still waiting for the sea freight, we have used the time to go through our large assortment of chain strands.
Result: We have too much stock in some cases - therefore price reduction of up to 50%!
29.01.2025: Stringed beads for your spring designs
With the coming of spring, the thick pullover will disappear back into the back of the wardrobe - so it's high time for creative new design necklaces and bracelets with gemstones!
Numerous new strands, e.g. faceted iolite, and coveted rarities such as cherry blossom agate and star aventurine await you at the spring house fair.
28.01.2025: The lecture programme is ready!
