Invitation to see the accompanying exhibition "Agates of the Podkrkonoší region and important foreign localities"

During the two autumn days (23-24 November 2024), when the 49th International Sales Exhibition of Minerals, Fossils, Jewellery and Natural Products will take place this year, visitors will traditionally be able to get acquainted with an extremely attractive topic, which will certainly appeal to a large number of collectors and laymen alike, as part of the accompanying exhibition in the gallery of Hall B. This year's theme, devoted mainly to the agates of the Podkrkonoší region, but also to a number of important world regions of their occurrence, will allow an excursion through the most interesting things the topic has to offer.

Czech mineralogists and collectors are well known for their rich occurrences in the Podkrkonoší region, where they have been collected for many centuries and amaze us with their beauty. The area is still providing new and new finds and the authors of the project, with the help of the prominent Czech collector Alexey Medikus, who is active in this area and belongs to the top of agate collecting in the Czech Republic, decided to present the most famous localities of Podkrkonoší to the visitors in the exhibition showcases this year. The exhibition in this breadth and variety of exhibited specimens will be exceptional in its quantity of presented agates (about 1000 pieces), but especially in the extraordinary quality of exhibited agates, which come from few private collections.

In addition to Czech agates from the Podkrkonoší region, the exhibition will also feature an exceptionally rich collection of agates from important world sites, which have probably never been presented in such a comprehensive form in the Czech Republic before.
