The mystery of Minerals, brought to you by Antonio Rapisarda
We live in a wonderful world, rich in beauty and charm. Minerals make this planet more unique and mysterious.
In the 1990s, the home of the Rapisarda family was shimmering with crystals on display. One day, sunlight hit a particular quartz so beautifully, it captivated young Antonio. In that moment, he knew what he’d dedicate his life to. At 17, he started growing his personal collection of crystals, or ‘stone flowers’ as ancient cultures referred to them. He studied to be a chemist, graduating in Pharmaceutical Sciences and Technologies. Parallel to his work in laboratories, he continued to study minerals and deepen his understanding through books as well as on-site research in mines and quarries. A journey to wellbeing led him to discover reiki and crystal therapy. In his work today, Antonio combines these scientific and holistic perspectives, sharing his deep knowledge of minerals with the world. Antonio brings 25 years of experience to Catawiki’s Minerals category. Energised by his endless appreciation for these magnificent stones, he guides buyers and sellers through mutually fortunate exchanges — as well as curating brilliant auctions you won’t want to miss.
