The fair is organised by the Department of Earth Sciences of the Faculty of Sciences and Technology of the UC, it includes national and international showcases which present minerals, precious gemstones, fossils, educational materials and handcrafted jewellery and craftwork.
This year, the fair is once again participating in the social solidarity campaign "O Sorriso da Mafalda" ("Mafalda's Smile"), with a collection point for plastic bottle caps and metal for recycling.
