Thomas Bellicam Talk for the Tucson Gem & Fine Mineral Show 2025

Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines, located in northeastern France, boasts a rich mining heritage that dates back to the Middle Ages, including a notable silver rush in the 16th century.

Managing Director, Thomas Bellicam, will explore this historical legacy, which has profoundly shaped the region’s identity, followed by a presentation of the Mineral & Gem international fair, which will celebrate its 60th edition in June 2025.

Spanning 52,000 square meters of open-air exhibition space, the fair features over 1,000 exhibitors and attracts nearly 40,000 visitors. Renowned for its exceptional minerals and unparalleled craftsmanship, it stands as a truly unique gathering on the world stage.
