As it does the wine so also a nice mineral will fascinate his observer, by its shape, its structure, its composition of colours, its brilliance and last but not least by its history.
We don’t believe, that minerals are able to cure or that they have any influence on humans life. For us they are not more but also not less than:

Beauty and a symbol for
abidingness

“As geologist I already studied a couple of years ago the history of origin and the crystallization of minerals or the fossilization of animals and plants, which died millions of years before. And still today - soon being grandfather -, I’m fascinated.”

Imagine, you hold a little, fossilized snail in your hands. Can you really imagine, that this small animal lived on our earth 200 Million years ago? Can human beings understand such a time interval, just when you recognize that seldom the human’s life span last more than 70-80 years?

A fossil - a litlle copy of nature- which lived on earth long before the first man did his step on it.

A mineral which was created under a certain pressure, in special solvents and under a lot of other specific conditions mostly within long time periods to such a beauty, that we have to admire it or that we will use it as beautiful gems.

When such thoughts are accompagnied by the enthusiasm of collecting those beauties and - what would be better than together with a glass of wine - to speak about these very old times, than you are right on this place.

Furthermore you will see that there are a lot of common features between wine and rock.

Not only the “terroir”, the age, the colour, the structure. It is the beauty - the soul which has to be discovered in both.

As wine the beauty of a rock best can be recognized by taking it into the hands. Therefor: what we want with this site is only to draw your attention to our little shop . We offer nice minerals and fossils from all over the world - or we can get it for you.

Here we will publish new or interesting stones at irregular intervals (Rock 1, Rock 2 , Rock 3). We know, that as a result, only a little part of the magic which comes from these marvels of nature can be transportated..
