Dear Global Mineral Dealers and Collectors,

When the classic model of Tucson meets the hot springs and landscapes of Chenzhou in the East, an elegant revolution in the mineral collecting world is quietly unfolding. We cordially invite you to Chenzhou, Hunan, China, on the first weekend of every December to experience this unique event that blends high-end mineral trading with resort-style enjoyment—the Chenzhou Fine Mineral Show.

Why Chenzhou?

Chenzhou, hailed as the "Oriental Mineral Capital," is not only home to world-class mineral resources such as tungsten, bismuth, tin, and fluorite but is also renowned for its profound mineral culture and abundant hot springs. Here, we redefine the mineral trading experience with our innovative "hotel as exhibition space" concept—displaying rare mineral specimens in the comfort of resort hotel rooms, where collectors can negotiate deals while enjoying the relaxing ambiance of hot springs.

Highlights of the 2025 Show

Private and Refined Trading Spaces: In the guest room exhibition spaces of Chenzhou Shimu Hot Spring Resort Hotel, 69 top Chinese exhibitors showcased premium mineral specimens ranging from hundreds to hundreds of thousands of RMB, including rare specimens such as Yaogangxian fluorite, Inner Mongolia mangano calcite, and Guilin pyromorphite.

Three Generations of Collectors Gathered for Active Trading: The show brought together collectors from older, middle-aged, and younger generations, with both local Chinese and top international collectors leaving satisfied.

A Blend of Professionalism and Leisure: By day, admire specimens and engage in exchanges; by night, unwind in hot springs. Participants could also join the organizing committee’s carefully arranged mining area exploration tours (such as the Shangbao Mine visit) to witness the origins of minerals and feel the charm of geology.

Chenzhou Model in an International Context

Dr. Robert Lavinsky, President of The Arkenstone Mineral Company in the United States, once praised: "This is a very comfortable show experience. The relaxed and casual atmosphere allows exchanges and transactions to happen naturally." The Chenzhou Mineral Gem Hotel Show is steadily gaining attention in the global collecting community with its unique Eastern charm and professional standards.

Join Us to Explore the New Eastern Mineral Market

We look forward to meeting you at the next edition of the show, where we can explore the profound allure of Chinese mineral crystals together and build long-term collaborations amidst the mist of hot springs and the brilliance of minerals. Chenzhou is not only a treasure trove of mineral resources but also a warm hub connecting collectors worldwide.
