Our Story
about us
Our story begins back in late 1990’s prairie suburbia, where two siblings spent endless summers collecting rocks and fossils along river beds. Unbeknownst to us, a lifelong passion for the world of minerals was being born. It’s an origin that is not unfamiliar to many mineral enthusiasts and collectors around the world, but this particular story took an unusual turn in 2018.
A flight from Paris to Antananarivo led to the chance meeting of a new friend, who was interested in bringing minerals from his home country to global markets. This friendship led to many long dirt roads to the remote mining sites of Madagascar, and eventually, to the export of our very first shipment of crystals. The trip itself had been a whirlwind of adventure, and from it came an insatiable desire to explore mineral localities where few others dare to venture.
Over the years we have developed many relationships on the African continent, and are dedicated to giving back to the communities we operate in through various charity projects. We pride ourselves in being your direct source from the miners in Africa and beyond!
