01
Direct mine relations
Relationships with mines across East Africa, and further when a request calls for it, so new material can be seen early.
Beyond the list
Bespoke mineral acquisition
The shop is only the material we can show today. If a mineral is not listed, ask. Curators reply within 48 business hours.
02
Ethical provenance
Each request is tracked with origin and labor notes we can share before you decide.
03
Certification
When a stone needs it, material is checked by GIA or IGI gemologists before it is presented.
A note from the vault
Acquiring a specific mineral takes patience. We look for the stone, and for the story of where it formed.
