PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING VERY CAREFULLY BEFORE CONTACTING US

We are only interested in UNDAMAGED well crystalized, high-quality minerals, not rocks.

What is a Mineral?

A mineral is a naturally formed, inorganic solid with a specific chemical composition and a crystalline structure, created through geological processes. In contrast, a rock is a combination of one or more minerals and can also contain organic materials or mineraloids. Some rocks consist primarily of a single mineral.

We are NOT interested in rocks, polished pieces, carvings and the like – we ONLY buy high quality crystallized specimens for collectors and museums.
