Maissau's Amethyst World marks two decades of showcasing valuable gemstones and priceless nature wonders
Hunker down, folks, we're kickin' off a deep dive into the 20-year-old gem of Maissau, Austria - the Amethyst World!
Back in 1845, this vibrant, purple rock known as amethyst was first unearthed in Maissau. And let me tell ya, this bad boy is no ordinary stone! The amethyst found here is considered a geological rarity worldwide, and that's saying something!
You might be thinking, "What's the big deal?" Well, let me spill the beans—beneath the surface of Maissau lies what's believed to be Europe's largest known amethyst seam. Take a moment to let that sink in!
The Amethyst World didn't start attracting tourists until the 1990s, kicking off the plans for making this natural wonder a major draw for travelers. Fast forward to 2005, and the Amethyst World stood proud as a fully-fledged tourist attraction!
Bust out the confetti, folks, it's the Amethyst World's 20th birthday! The anniversary was celebrated with a bash on June 3rd, where the Managing Director Gerhard Stark and other important folks welcomed guests, partners, and friends. Stark highlighted the Amethyst World's significance as a hub for science, tourism, and regional development.
Oh, and did I mention they buried a time capsule containing photos and a commemorative certificate signed by the honorary guests? Talk about a symbolic move, right?
Let's Get this Party Started!
To celebrate the milestone, the Amethyst World team has cooked up a jubilee program. Juniors and families won't wanna miss the interactive magic show by magician Flokus Pokus and his feathered companion, Günther, on June 6th. The show starts at 3 pm, so be sure to save the date!
