Workshops (16-17th July)

Jeff Scovil will be running workshops on mineral photography - bring your camera and learn how to improve your mineral photography. Jolyon Ralph will be running a workshop on mindat.org, how to use it and how to contribute and improve the site.
For more information on the workshops click here.

Mineral Shows (13-17th July)

There are two mineral shows during the conference period in the town. The Town Center mineral show is a regular part of the Lwówek Crystal Days festival, it takes over the full town center, and contains rocks, gem, jewellery and mineral dealers, selling mostly inexpensive local minerals.
