Many dealers were extremely satisfied. According to the organizer, 18,000 guests visited the halls on Saturday alone. Both days were a hive of activity and the numerous children's attractions were well received. Parents were everywhere with their children to complete the geo-rally.

For mineral collectors, the usual dealers were on site, although some tables remained empty. There were no highlights from the scene or overflowing tables with identical material from new finds. However, one stand with an impressive selection of Germanite chunks was a welcome novelty.

The special exhibition “The Impossible Crystal” was a success. Even if not all the exhibits could be described as “impossible crystal”, all the pieces were of the best quality and well worth seeing. In the B halls, the author visited the “Young Designers”, including a student who presented cast silver jewelry in an organic design that showed off the embedded stones to their best advantage - an impressive piece of work...

Es handelt sich um hydrothermale Ganglagerstätten, die entweder Kristallgranit I oder mittelkörnigen Granit durchschlagen. Ihr südliches Ende liegt in jener Zone, wo das Nebengestein bereits durch Kataklase geprägt ist. Im Norden werden die Gänge entweder von einer Störungszone abgeschnitten (Sulzbach II) bzw. vertauben knapp vorher oder aber sie gehen bei gleicher Breite in einen reinen Quarzgang über (Gänge des fürstlichen Tiergartens).
