Lovers of crystallizations, fossils, meteorites, precious stones, natural stone jewelry and other mineralogical curiosities will meet Saturday and Sunday at the Mineralexpo exhibition exchange at the Mulhouse exhibition park.
The organizing association Friends of Earth Sciences is honoring “a century of potash history in Alsace”. If the presence of salt was detected in the subsoil of the region as early as 1869 by Gustave Dollfus in Dornach, the first drilling dates from 1904 in Wittelsheim-Richwiller. The exploitation of potash then began for a hundred years. Exhibits from the Wittelsheim Mining and Potash Museum will be on display, with unique samples.
Around a hundred exhibitors from all over France, but also from Germany, the Netherlands, Poland, Belgium, Italy and Morocco, will present minerals from around the world. A space of 500 m2 will be dedicated to well-being. Finally, in addition to participating in fun activities, children will leave with a mineralogical sample.
Parc-expo, 120 rue Lefebvre in Mulhouse, Saturday January 13 and Sunday January 14 from 9 a.m. to 6 p.m. Prices: €2 and €5. Refreshment bar and catering.
