North America

Discover an outstanding collection of mineral specimens from North America, a continent renowned for some of the most important and historically significant mining districts in the world. From the mineral-rich deserts of Mexico to the legendary mines of the United States and Canada, this region has produced an extraordinary diversity of world-class collector specimens.

Mexico stands out as one of the most celebrated sources, with famous localities such as Mapimí (Ojuela Mine), Naica, Chihuahua and Zacatecas producing exceptional wulfenite, vanadinite, fluorite and the record-breaking giant gypsum crystals of Naica. The United States contributes iconic specimens from legendary localities such as Tsumeb-rivaling copper minerals from Arizona (azurite, malachite), fine rhodochrosite from Colorado's Sweet Home Mine, spectacular tourmaline from California and Maine, and world-famous turquoise from the American Southwest. Canada adds superb specimens of amethyst from Thunder Bay, exceptional calcite and native silver from Ontario's Cobalt district.

This collection includes a remarkable range of minerals: wulfenite, vanadinite, fluorite, rhodochrosite, azurite, malachite, tourmaline, turquoise, amethyst, native silver, gypsum, calcite, quartz and agate, representing some of the finest examples of North American mineralogy.

North American minerals are treasured for their exceptional variety, ranging from vividly colored oxidized copper minerals to giant translucent crystal formations, reflecting the continent's rich and diverse geological history.

From the deserts of northern Mexico to the mountains of the American West and the mineral-rich shores of Canada, North America remains one of the most significant and prolific sources of high-quality collector minerals in the world.
