Geode – Zwijndrecht

Geode Zwijndrecht is an association for people interested in minerals and fossils. It brings enthusiasts together through educational activities, opportunities to develop practical skills, and events for the wider public. Members can attend monthly lectures and receive a digital newsletter featuring articles on relevant topics. At Geode’s dedicated workspace, Geodroom, they can take courses in activities such as stone cutting and silversmithing. The association also offers sessions in gemmology, including learning to identify gemstones, as well as faceting and open workshop time for grinding and polishing.

Geode organizes an international minerals and fossils fair in Zwijndrecht twice a year, giving visitors and collectors an opportunity to explore these subjects. Its programme includes lectures, club evenings, courses, and other events, with information shared through its website and newsletter. Geode invites interested people to join the association and take part in its community and activities. Whether learning about gemstones, developing hands-on techniques, or attending a lecture or fair, members and visitors can engage with the world of minerals and fossils.
