At the premisses of the Oddestemmen Steinsliperi we will organize an international mineralshow, where we will invite a select group of dealers and collecters. But anyone interested in participating at the show is welcome to take contact with the Oddestemmen Steinsliperi.

We will ensure access to a number of well known and lesser known localities, in some cases with a locally known guide.
Of course, the Mineralsti which is only 1,5 km from the Oddestemmen Steinsliperi will be open during the mineralshow, and there will be fresh rock to collect in.
You can visit the workshop of the Oddestemmen Steinsliperi, where there will be demonstrations at regular intervals.
Pupils of the goldsmithschool in Valle will demonstrate their occupation.
The nearby Flĺt Nickel mine will be open to visitors. This was once the largest nickel mine in Europe and has played a major role in the development of Evje. The upper levels of the mines have been made accessible for visitors, and at regular intervals there will be guided tours into the mine.
