Found: Multiple pieces

Our first find was Cavansite! Cavansite is a rare mineral with flower-like crystals that are attached to a matrix (host rock). This is the first time we have found these pieces polished. Some stones are entirely cavansite, while others are still partially attached to the matrix.

Found: A number of pieces

This raw Prehnite has grown in sphere-like shapes and has a light-green color. We brought back some raw spheres but also clusters as seen in this photo.

Found: Multiple pieces

Spessartine garnet is one of our favorite stones because it has a special color and grows in nature in a beautiful way. It has a garnet-like shape and the lines on the crystal are clearly visible.

Found: several pieces

Hackmanite is a special stone from Afghanistan that deepens in color when exposed to sunlight (UV).

Found: multiple pieces

This Golden Topaz from Zambia is transparent, while the inclusions give the stone a golden color. That is slightly different from the 'normal' Golden Topaz from Brazil. Those from Brazil are often much more orange.

Found: multiple pieces

Teal Kyanite is a blend of green and blue Kyanite. You will find the 'Teal' variety right in the transition zones between blue and green Kyanite. These pieces are generally rarer and therefore more valuable.

Found: a number of pieces

These are beautiful rough pieces of Scapolite where the crystalline growth structure is clearly visible. The natural lines along the crystal clearly show how the mineral formed. A nice find of good quality, and for a good price.

Found: a number of pieces

We also came across some beautiful polished Variscite; it is a fairly rare mineral and it has a very specific mint-green color with veins of other minerals.

Found: a few pieces

We came across small, raw pieces of Green Fluorite at the gentleman with the Scapolites from Morocco; he had a few nice little pieces, so we brought those along as well.

Found: a few pieces

Alexandrite is one of the rarest crystals on Earth. Alexandrite is dark green in colour and can be partly transparent. Some Alexandrite can change colour depending on the light. During the day or under white light it looks greenish, but in the evening under warm light such as from an incandescent lamp it turns red or purplish red.

Found: a few pieces

Euclase is also one of the rarest minerals in the world. Euclase is actually a colorless stone, but blue variants can also be found due to the presence of iron. The bluer and clearer the stone, the more valuable it is.

Found: a number of pieces

These are small quartz points with visible inclusions of the mineral Dumortierite (blue). We have brought the most beautiful pieces.

Found: multiple pieces

We were able to purchase these Amethyst points from Kazakhstan for the first time last year at the Munich fair. We met the same man again in France and were therefore able to replenish our stock! The special thing about these Amethyst points is that they are small and raw, and therefore also ideal for making pendants.

Found: a number of pieces

A new gemstone! Heliodor belongs to the Beryl family, just like Aquamarine (blue), Emerald (green) & Morganite (pink). These are beautiful transparent rods with a subtle yellow color.

Found: several pieces

Fortunately, this year we again succeeded in finding beautiful pieces of Moldavite at a fair price. Our stock was almost depleted, so this comes at a good time. Moldavite is an extraterrestrial mineral and is believed to have arrived 15 million years ago via a meteorite impact.

Found: a number of pieces

These raw Aquamarine rods come from Brazil. It is sometimes difficult to find transparent pieces that also have a lot of color. But as you can see, we succeeded! Very happy with them.

Found: several pieces

Like Aquamarine, Emerald, and Heliodor, Morganite belongs to the Beryl family. It is a stone that can be found in a soft pink to peach-pink color. These pieces are polished in an angular structure and have free-form shapes.

Found: a number of pieces

These were almost sold out! So we are happy to have found natural Citrine points again. You wouldn't think so, but it's quite difficult to find natural Citrine in a beautiful pendant shape. Often, amethyst is heated until it turns orange and then called Citrine.

Found: a number of pieces

Tourmaline comes in all colours of the rainbow! Green and red-pink varieties are known as Watermelon Tourmaline. The mineral grows in elongated rod shapes, and high-quality pieces are transparent with fine lines running lengthwise through the crystal.

These Tourmaline pieces have been cut into slices, making the colours stand out even more. The edge of the stone is still rough and the lines are clearly visible.

Found: several pieces

We already have raw tourmaline wands, but now we have also come across them with an angular polished structure, just like with the morganite. It is always nice to be able to offer different types of pendants of the same stone.

Found: several pieces

We are a little in love with the pink Tourmaline from Siberia. Compared to other pink Tourmalines, these are a very beautiful deep pink color. At the fair, we found a large bin full of pink Tourmalines with imperfections and brought home the most beautiful pieces for a good price.

Found: multiple pieces

You might also recognize this stone from last year. These are raw Aquamarine rods from Siberia that are semi-transparent and deep in color.

Found: a number of pieces

A new gemstone in our collection! We have brought back small pieces of Sugilite, a rare and precious stone that varies from lavender and light purple to deep violet or nearly black-purple.

Found: a number of pieces

We also found some high-quality Rhodonite. We previously had some rough pieces, but that wasn't a success when drilling due to the mineral structure of the stone. Hopefully, it will work out with this polished version!

Found: a few pieces

We also found a number of Amethyst points with hematite inclusions. Most pieces are light purple, but there are also a few quartz pieces among them.

Found: 2 pieces available

Let's start with the complicated name haha: you pronounce it as 'vay-ry-nie-niet' and it is an extremely rare mineral that is normally much more subtle in color. It is named after the Finnish geologist who first found the stone, which happens regularly in the gemstone world.

It was a pricey stone due to its rarity, but it really caught our attention. Hopefully, we'll find someone for this beautiful piece (we have 2, by the way).

Found: 3 pieces available

This is perhaps the highest quality Emerald we have ever sourced. It is a clear piece with a deep green color. We also have 3 other pieces, 1 of which is from Colombia.

Found: 1 piece

We only have one of this raw Dravite. It is a brown Tourmaline that leans towards yellow, making the stone very transparent. The beautiful thing about Tourmaline is the inclusions that give the stone great depth.

Found: several pieces

Tourmaline comes in all colours of the rainbow! Green and red-pink varieties are known as Watermelon Tourmaline. The mineral grows in elongated rod shapes, and high-quality pieces are transparent with fine lines running lengthwise through the crystal.

Found: a few pieces

A few stones above you will find the raw Heliodor. This is the polished version and it is deeper in color but less transparent. We have found a number of pieces of this in a nice shape, but not a great many.

Found: a few pieces

This is an even rarer Tanzanite than the standard light-blue variety because the stone is partially green. Unfortunately, it wasn't entirely possible to capture the pieces well in the photo, but here is a sneak peek.

Found: a few pieces

These sapphires come from Sri Lanka and are raw. The growth direction of these sapphires is clearly visible. The stones are transparent and have a light blue color.

Found: several pieces

Last year, we bought rough Tugtupite for the first time at the Munich fair. This time, we found polished pieces of beautiful quality. Tugtupite is a rare mineral found exclusively in Greenland. Mining it is difficult, which makes the stone even more valuable. Like Hackmanite and Afghanite, Tugtupite reacts to sunlight and UV light: if you place it in the sun, the pink parts of the stone become even more intensely coloured.

Found: a few pieces

We came across this remarkable stone at the fair, straight from the geologists who had collected it themselves. Its structure is reminiscent of moldavite, with deep grooves and a rough, almost extraterrestrial appearance. But this is not meteoritic glass.

Although it resembles a Tektite, this stone consists largely of Obsidian and is a form of natural volcanic glass. A so-called Pseudo-Tektite, formed by volcanic heat rather than an impact.

We were immediately impressed. We had never seen anything like it before.

Found: a few pieces

We have also been successful in finding more unique Tourmaline pieces. Here you see a piece with pink and yellow colors. We have more in all kinds of different color combinations.

Found: several pieces

Here you see a larger green-blue Tourmaline bar. Truly beautiful how the colors transition.

Found: multiple pieces

Hackmanite is a special stone from Afghanistan that deepens in color when exposed to sunlight (UV).

Found: a few pieces

Jeremejevite is one of the rarest gemstones in the world. It is almost impossible to find larger pieces for pendants, so we have purchased a number of smaller rods. Now let's hope the drilling goes well, fingers crossed 🤞🏻

Found: a few pieces

Petroleum quartz is a variety of quartz in which orange particles of oil are trapped inside the mineral. Under a UV light, they light up beautifully.

Found: 3 pieces available

This small mineral is extremely rare. We have been able to find 3 pieces, including the well-known cubic form that Boleite is known for.

Found: a few pieces

These small, light-yellow spheres are rhodosite and were found in Madagascar. It is a rare mineral whose existence we were not yet aware of either. We are curious to see if drilling will work, as they are truly very, very small.

Found: 1 specimen

This is a very unique piece of green Tourmaline due to its cone-like shape.

Found: a number of pieces

Tourmaline in quartz is rare enough on its own, but blue Tourmaline in quartz of this quality is rarely encountered. The quartz is exceptionally clear and the Tourmaline pieces are beautiful in color and shape.

This combination makes the stones truly special. We were able to acquire them for a good price thanks to our excellent relationship with the dealer, but they remain valuable pieces.

Found: a number of pieces

Last year they also found this stone. We decided to take another look at the same dealer and brought home the most beautiful rods. Some rods end in black Tourmaline (as seen in the image).

Found: several pieces

We think this is a very special find too! These are Aquamarine discs, and due to the inclusions, there is a beautiful depth effect in the stones. There are also sparkles that you normally don't see in Aquamarine. This is probably due to the presence of another unknown mineral in the inclusions.

Found: 2 specimens

We have selected the two finest pieces of this Rutilated Quartz. The rutile needles are clearly visible within the quartz and have a star-like shape.

Found: several pieces

Tsavorite garnet is one of our favorite minerals. It is a transparent light-green stone with inclusions of Graphite (carbon). The front of these stones is always in a natural Garnet-like shape. And on the back, you can see where the stone was attached to the mother rock; this side is somewhat rougher.

Found: a few pieces

We have also found a few pink Topazes from Pakistan. They are sometimes also called Champagne Topaz, but this specimen is more pink in color and therefore also a lot rarer.

Found: a few pieces

Haüyne belongs to the sodalite group, just like afghanite and hackmanite. This is high-quality haüyne. You can recognize it by its deep color and also by the fact that it is semi-transparent.

Found: a few pieces

We already had some rough Afghanite in our collection, but this time we also found pieces that are partially transparent. You can see it well in the stone at the bottom right of the photo above.

Found: a few pieces

The color of this stone really attracted us. It is a color we have never seen in a mineral before, very special. The presence of manganese gives this stone a deep red color.

Found: a few pieces

This variety of green Tourmaline has a beautiful depth effect due to the high amount of Chromium. We have found a number of beautiful pieces.

Found: 2 specimens

We have found 2 beautiful pieces of pink Tanzanite for the first time. The stone is pink in color due to the presence of manganese. It is rarer than the blue varieties of Tanzanite

Found: a few pieces

The dark blue variety of Tourmaline is also called Indicolite. At first glance, the stone appears almost black, but as soon as you hold it up to the light, a deep indigo-blue glow appears.
