About Amaranth Minerals
Our journey kicks off in the late 1990s, where two siblings spent sun-soaked summers scouring riverbeds for rocks and fossils. Little did they know, this would lay the foundation for a lifelong passion for minerals.
What followed were epic adventures down dusty, untrodden paths, in search of hidden mineral wonders. We started our first shipment after a whirlwind trip to Madagascar.
As the years unfolded, we have cultivated many connections across the African continent, and have been dedicated to giving back to the communities we touch through various charity projects.
Here at Amaranth Minerals, we stand proud as your direct link to the heart of Africa's mineral world and beyond!
