September 15, 2025: Let's get the tents up!
We start setting up the tents in light drizzle. Before we can present minerals and gemstones from all over the world to you here, we first have to get the substructure in place.
And for the house fair, our purchasing department has ordered sunshine and pleasant temperatures just above 20°C.
September 12, 2025: Now it's getting serious!
Final sprint for preparations house – on Monday, we'll start setting up the large tent. All the shelves are well stocked, and the last deliveries are being put in place in the exhibition.
In bright autumn sunshine, the Zeltbau Fischer team is setting up the numerous house fair tents.

September 10, 2025: Discover treasures – exclusively at Osterholz
“Why do I have to come to Ludwigsburg? Isn't everything available in the online shop?”
There is a clear answer to these questions: It is worth making the trip to Ludwigsburg to visit the sales exhibition because there are many treasures, large and small, to discover there. These include fantastic kunzite crystals, lapis lazuli crocodiles, and many other items that are not available to buy online.
September 8, 2025: Donations for the Fair Trade Association
Since its founding in 2009, we have been supporting the work of Fair Trade Minerals & Gems e.V. with fundraising campaigns.

August 29, 2025: The fascination of petrified wood
The shipment from Madagascar included beautiful spheres made of petrified wood - each one unique in color and pattern!
The Etruscans used petrified wood as decoration already 4,000 years ago, and petrified wood is also indispensable in modern crystal healing as a gemstone for grounding and stability.
August 28, 2025: Organic wines from Lauffen am Neckar
Enjoy during your lunch break at the ihouse fair a glass of wine from the award-winning Seybold organic winery in Lauffen.
Wine bar and food truck can be found at the house fair in Osterholz Park – open from 11:30 a.m. to 4:00 p.m. We would like to invite you to a delicious lunch and ask for a donation to Fair Trade Mineral & Gems e.V. in return.
August 26, 2025: fantastic new pearls!
The prices for pearls have risen significantly in recent years due to numerous environmental protection measures in China, and many popular shapes have been unavailable for a long time.
Now we have received a huge selection of pearl strands at reasoable prices - from mini rice corn to fantastic freeforms. Be inspired by festive designs at our autumn house fair!
August 25, 2025: Don't forget to bring your Mole savings book
In addition to the house fair discount of up to 12% and a 3% cash discount, you will receive stamps in your mole savings book at the house fair!

A shipment has also arrived from Brazil with tumbled stones, rough stones and much more popular items that belong in every gemstone shop.
And finally available again: huge rose quartz rough stones weighing up to 78 kg per stone!
August 13, 2025: Box by box, we're making progress
It's holiday season here too, and many of our colleagues are on holiday. As a result, unpacking the shipment from Madagascar is taking longer than usual.
But box by box, item by item, treasures are coming to light – at the moment, fantastic points and freeforms made of natural citrine! Many small lots of goods that are only available locally in Ludwigsburg are still waiting to be unpacked – we will keep you up to date.
August 8, 2025: Lighting the inner light
Shortly after the house fair, on September 22, 2025, is the autumn equinox—day and night are of equal length, a symbol of balance and change. The beginning of the dark season is a wonderful opportunity to let your own inner light shine a little brighter.
In her lecture, Monika Grundmann shows how the seven keys to resilience in gemstone balance can help us through this upcoming dark period. How can we balance light and shadow? What are the positive aspects of the dark half of the year? Monika Grundmann answers these and other questions.
In addition, a gemstone ritual will be presented that can be used to consciously experience and shape the transition period. Outdated things and ideas can be let go – the time of change is also the time of new beginnings.
August 5, 2025: Thirty years ago...
...the doors to our sales exhibition in Ludwigsburg opened for the very first time.
We are currently planning the celebrations for the 30th anniversary of the wholesale shop – more information will be available soon here in our house fair blog!
July 29, 2025: Finally here: Madagascar
It took a long time, but the shipment from Madagascar has finally arrived and is being unpacked. In addition to petrified wood in many sizes, many small items have arrived that are only available at the house fair in Ludwigsburg.
Rock crystal is currently being unpacked – we will keep you up to date on other great products from the gemstone island here in the housefair blog.
July 24, 2025: Tent of fragrances with the Berk company
