Thanks to our close involvement with the local communities and the miners we are able to handle great quantities of minerals. Out of these big quantities we meticulously select the quality grades suitable for carving, polishing and for good quality mineral specimens.
MINERALS FROM AFRICA is strictly a mineral wholesaler. We do not sell to the public but only to professional companies dealing in minerals and fossils. However we will gladly redirect individuals and part time Internet mineral dealers to our clients in their countries so they may buy our minerals from them.
If you are a professional wholesaler or mineral dealer looking for African minerals, please contact us. We would be glad to assist you. We will send you a list of all our minerals with the current prices and quantities available at any time. Due to the changes in stock, the extensive variety of African minerals and some web page related technical errors, sometimes not all of the minerals are included properly in our web page. So, direct contact with us via e-mail is always recommended. On request we can also keep you
