A Milestone for Gandhara Fine Minerals

After more than a decade serving collectors online, CIMGE 2026 marked our first participation in an international mineral exhibition.
The event provided an opportunity to introduce exceptional minerals from Pakistan and Afghanistan to a global audience, connect with collectors, strengthen industry relationships, and showcase the remarkable mineral heritage of our region.

From Namak Mandi to Nanjing

The journey to CIMGE 2026 was more than attending an exhibition. Traveling from Pakistan to China, with stops through Beijing, Nanjing, and the renowned crystal city of Donghai, the experience offered valuable insights into the international mineral market while creating lasting friendships and professional connections.

Reflections from CIMGE 2026

CIMGE 2026 was an unforgettable experience for our team. What began as our first international exhibition quickly became a major milestone in the journey of Gandhara Fine Minerals.

The event allowed us to introduce minerals from Pakistan and Afghanistan to a global audience, receive valuable feedback from collectors, strengthen existing relationships, and establish new connections throughout the international mineral community.

The experience was both professionally rewarding and personally memorable. From the exhibition halls of Nanjing to the crystal markets of Donghai, every day brought new opportunities to learn, share stories, and represent our region on the world stage.

We are grateful to everyone who visited our booth and look forward to participating in future international events.
