Seller's Story

I specialize in natural gemstones, crystals, and mineral specimens, carefully sourced from trusted locations around the world — including Afghanistan, Pakistan, Brazil, Madagascar, and Africa. Many of my finest pieces come directly from my family’s private mine in Afghanistan, originally established by my father. This legacy allows me to access unique and high-quality mineral formations that are rarely found on the market. My collection features authentic Kunzite, Tourmaline, Lapis Lazuli, Aquamarine, Spessartine, Peridot, and other rare minerals, each selected with geological expertise and passion. As an active participant in international gem and mineral exhibitions across Europe, America, Japan, and China, I focus on offering collectors and enthusiasts only genuine and ethically sourced natural specimens. Every listing is prepared with transparency, accuracy, and professional care to ensure the highest standard of authenticity and buyer satisfaction.
