Seller's Story

We have been collectors since 1972, present as exhibitors at the main mineral exhibitions in Italy and some European ones (Sainte-Marie-Aux-Mines, Monaco, etc.), where you can find us to get to know us in person, exchange opinions, talk about our beloved minerals and, should the auctions end close to an exhibition, deliver your samples directly. All proposed minerals, unless otherwise specified, are photographed using a strong light source, to better show the colors and details of the sample. If you buy multiple minerals in the same auction, we will ship them together and you will only pay the higher shipping costs.
