Spanish term or phrase: bolsa de minerales
Se trata del término empleado para indicar la exposición de minerales en un evento.

En concreto Bolsa-Exposición de Fósiles y Minerales. ¿Con exhibition sería suficiente, o hay algún término específico de la jerga? Es que lo he visto ya traducido como stock market y me suena fatal.
Muchas gracias.

... bourse and exhibition...
Explanation:
Libe, con el panorama aclarado me animo a proponer "bourse and exhibition" donde no solo se exhiben minerales sino que se intercambian/venden/prestan/alquilan minerales.
Es como la "Bolsa de Valores" donde se transfieren papeles nominales, bonos, acciones, etc.

Asker: I had seen pocket as well, and pocket on display seems good. Should it be a mixture of pocket on display-exhibition? How would you say that in english? Because the generic terms should be more open, as not all the minerals and fossils displayed have the same origin, and pocket is a more local word, isn't it?
