Hello! I am glad you found your way here. Let me introduce myself. My name is Paul Krause, and I am a geologist and mineralogist. I hold a master\u2019s degree in geosciences with a specialization in economic geology, and I am a passionate mineral collector. I began collecting minerals with great enthusiasm as a child. <\/p>\n\n
I Help You Enhance Your Mineral Collection<\/h2>\n\n
I would like to help you enhance your personal mineral collection. As mentioned above, I am a geologist and mineralogist with a genuine passion for minerals. My goal is to offer you high-quality and aesthetically appealing specimens. The online shop is still being expanded, and more minerals will gradually become available for purchase. <\/p>\n\n
Most of the minerals offered here come from<\/p>\n\n
\n
previous collections<\/li>\n\n\n\n
direktly from the locality<\/li>\n\n\n\n
from wholesalers <\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n
so that I can offer these specimens to you at a fair price.<\/p>\n\n
Trust is Essential<\/h3>\n\n
Trust is an essential foundation when purchasing minerals. Unfortunately, fakes are not uncommon, and specimens are sometimes sold with incorrect locality information. Here, you can purchase the minerals of your choice conveniently and, above all, with confidence. My goal is to offer you a broad selection of attractive mineral specimens. I place great importance on correct mineral identification and the most accurate locality information possible. <\/p>\n\n
You can rely on my expertise, as I am a trained Geologist specializing in Economic Geology. <\/strong><\/p>\n\n
The Passion for Mineral Collecting<\/h3>\n\n
I would also like to share the joy of mineral collecting with you. It does not matter whether the specimens are purchased or personally found in the field. Ultimately, mineral collecting is about appreciating the treasures of nature. Every mineral is a natural wonder with a story to tell. For this reason, you will also find a mineral blog here. <\/p>\n\n
Who Am I? <\/h2>\n\n
My name is Paul Krause. I earned my bachelor\u2019s degree in geology and mineralogy and my master\u2019s degree in geosciences with a specialization in economic geology at TU Bergakademie Freiberg. I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation at the German Mining Museum in Bochum.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n
I developed a fascination for minerals as a child and began collecting them at an early age. Given my academic background and interests, establishing my own mineral business was a natural step. I find or acquire most of the minerals offered in this shop during my travels. <\/p>\n\nI am pictured on the right, following a visit to an emerald mine in Coscuez, Colombia. <\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n
