The pyrite occurrences of the Extertal show how mineralogically diverse regional German localities can be.
Expertise, personal advice, and traceable provenance – this is what “Mineralien weltweit” stands for.
Localities, mineralogy, and geological relationships are explained from a professional perspective rather than described only superficially.
I personally answer questions about minerals, localities, and individual specimens with a sound geological background.
The provenance of each specimen is stated as precisely as possible – for transparency and a clear connection to its locality.
Some of the minerals come from my own travels – acquired directly in the respective regions or personally collected in the field.
I only add specimens to the shop that convince me through their locality, quality, or mineralogical significance.
Photos and descriptions are intended to represent the actual specimen as realistically and transparently as possible, without unnecessary exaggeration.
Discover selected mineral regions and localities from different countries.
Minerals fascinate me not only as a collector, but also from a geological perspective. As a geologist, I am particularly interested in the formation of mineral deposits, their mineral assemblages, and the precise provenance of individual specimens.
Many minerals on this website were acquired by me directly during my own travels or collected in the field. Precise locality information, well-founded descriptions, and an honest representation of each individual specimen are especially important to me.
