Debrecen (Debrecen) will be sparkling with rare minerals and handmade treasures on November 8-9, 2025, as the 6th Debrecen Mineral Fair returns to 58 Széchenyi Street (Debreceni SZC Mechwart András Mechanical and IT Technical School). If you’re passionate about minerals, jewelry, gemstones, or breathtaking gift items crafted from these beauties—or just want to immerse yourself in a world of collectors and experts—clear your schedule and get ready for one of Eastern Hungary’s (Kelet-Magyarország) biggest mineral events.
Shiny Stones, Precious Gifts, and Entertainment
For two days, Debrecen will be filled with stands, sparkling stones, and local exhibitors showcasing their rare finds and handmade jewelry. Attendees can mingle with experts, get inspired by collections, and even purchase unique stones for their own collections. This fair is for everyone—die-hard mineral collectors, jewelry lovers, and anyone curious enough to spend an hour surrounded by sparkle.
Don’t miss the chance to hunt for truly original Christmas presents for friends and family! The Mineral Fair also offers special programs: a 3D screening titled “Borneo: Nature’s Garden of Eden,” gem-cutting demonstrations, and craft workshops for both adults and kids—including making your own mineral jewelry and sand pictures.
