On April 7, there was 41 days to open the 6th China (Hunan) International Mineral Gem Show (CMGS) in Chenzhou City. The world mineral show attracting the exhibitors and enthusiasts of mineral gems all over the world was on the intense preparations.
For the general public of Chenzhou City, what are the highlights to be expected in this event? For this reason, the reporter interviewed Mr. Zheng Jianrong, General Manager of Chenzhou International Mineral Gem Expo Co., Ltd and international mineral crystal collector.
They are the world's rarest bournonites, discovered in the Yaogangxian Mine in Chenzhou.
Reporter: As of now, is the preparatory progress of the 6th CMGS smooth?
Zheng Jianrong: Generally speaking, the progress is very smooth. Based on the high standard, high standard and high quality of 4th and 5th CMGS, Chenzhou City is famous in the world of mineral and jewelry, and the exhibitors have changed from "We invite" to "they admiring". Due to the large number of exhibitors, we have devoted more attention to selecting the exhibitors with strength, reputation and quality.
At present, there are more than 1000 top mineral and jewelry companies from more than 50 countries including France, England, Italy, Germany, Spain, Denmark, Belgium, Brazil and South Africa. All the booths have been reserved, but there are still many merchants coming to discuss.
The profile of the morganite has a very regular geometry.
The invitations of some special guests (industry experts, scholars, top collectors and local dignitaries) to attend the opening ceremony, the summit forum and the academic exchange were also more successful than ever before. The CMGS in Chenzhou is the most popular in Asia and there is no need to make too much promotion. They are also looking forward to enjoy the natural and wonderful minerals at the exhibition.
Reporter: What are the "new" and "special" works to be expected by the citizens at this mineral show?
Zheng Jianrong: In the exhibition design, we introduced the super-avantgarde design team to make the exhibition more international and fashion. For example, the Republic of South Africa will do their country's special image, the American fossil giant Sahara will design the dinosaur skeleton in the showroom, and the Taiwan Shishang Company will display the restoration of the fossils on site.
This exhibition has set up the national treasure fine mineral exhibition area, fine jewelry jade area and natural resources promotion area of 14 cities in Hunan province.
The top rhodochrosite, "Emperor of China"
Some of the world's top and unique treasures will be displayed in the national treasure fine mineral exhibition area for the first time, including the largest gold molybdenum lead ore in China, discovered in Xinjiang; the world's rarest bournonites, discovered in the Yaogangxian Mine in Chenzhou; more high-grade aquamarine series. The top rhodochrosites, "Emperor of China" and "Empress of China" will be displayed to realize the "China reunion" for the first time. (The two rhodochrosites, discovered in Cangwu County, Guangxi in 2009, are the largest in volume, the largest in single crystal and the best in quality in China at present, which were shocked at the Tucson Mineral Show in 2011. At present, the market valuation of the "Empress of China" has exceeded 20 million yuan.

The high-quality famous Taiwan team will display in the jewelry jade area for the first time, with more than 100 booths.
Of course, the most expected and shocking of the 6th CMGS is the first exposure of the largest and most intact dinosaur mummy fossils found in the world. The 12-meter fossils, discovered in the United States, is a national treasure collection belonging to Taiwan Shishang Company now.
Reporter: The CMGS has been held permanently in Chenzhou City since the 3rd CMGS, so there should be a certain challenge to how to plan a new show. As the specific execution of the show, what do you think is the greatest pressure?
Zhen Jianrong: We need find new products and new ideas every year and the pressure is not small. We need ensure better quality exhibitors, new exhibition and new minerals.
Mineral crystals are non-renewable scarce resources and it is not easy to explore new excellent products. As far as I know, there is no news of new products coming out from Chenzhou City, the capital of mineral crystals, or other crystal mining areas in the world.
The dinosaur mummy fossils will be displayed in the 6th CMGS for the first time.
What shall I do? We only persuade the top collectors around the world to take out the treasures. Many collectors are anxious and reluctant, considering that cross-sea transport can cause damage to treasures. It took us 2 years to persuade the collector of the dinosaur fossils that will be exposed at this CMGS.
For this CMGS, we not only planned rich and colorful theme activities, but also paid more attention to the popular science value. Now they are talking about reducing the burden on the students. During the show, they can go out of the school and go to the exhibition to popularize science and feel the wonders of nature. So we will issue additional tickets for the show and suggest that all primary and middle schools can contact us in advance and organize students to visit for free.
The morganite bracelets
The level of the guests invited to the exhibition will be higher than before. This year, we are planning to invite two people who are very familiar and have a lot of fate with Hunan and we are in the process of contact and negotiation at present.
Reporter: What are the real benefits to the ordinary people in Chenzhou by holding the CMGS every year?
Zhen Jianrong: The CMGS is a world-class mineral gemstone display and communication platform and is a new bridge for Chenzhou to connect the world, which not only expands Chenzhou's international influence, but also brings new impetus to Chenzhou's economic development.
For ordinary people, the first benefit is the native mineral gem enterprises, self-employed and collectors. For the local exhibitors, they not only can unreservedly transport their products to the exhibition to sell to customers, but also can bring the intended customers to their own warehouse or mine in the evening.
The CMGS attracts thousands of domestic and international businessmen, mineral collectors and enthusiasts to Chenzhou City and they need eat, live, travel, consume, etc. According to statistics, during the 5th CMGS, the Chenzhou High Speed Rail passenger flow increased by 15% and the number of visitors to major scenic spots significantly increased. It was very hard to find the rooms in the hotels of Chenzhou urban areas and Zixing City.
