Crystal Spring Minerals was born in February 2001, when we decided to source mineral specimens locally and market them world-wide. Based in Kakamas, a small town in the Northern Cape, we are perfectly located in close proximity to major mineral specimen localities, including: The Kalahari Manganese Fields, Orange River Pegmatite Belt, Riemvasmaak and Namibia. Our close proximity to these localities, translates into competitive operating costs, enabling us to offer the latest finds at the best possible prices. We work closely with our miners and with the experience that we have gained over the years we are able to provide mineral specimens of outstanding quality. We also supply rough material and processed stone goods. Like most, we also come from humble beginnings. When we started out in the mineral collecting hobby 15 years ago we had almost no knowledge about minerals, where they came from or what they are worth. What we did have was the passion and determination to learn more about minerals and the dream of having our own business trading and sourcing these miracles of nature. Embarking on such an adventure is exciting but not always smooth sailing, to tell the truth……, most of the time stormy seas and overcast. Lucky for us we had the best Captain, super navigators and a crew that kept all the sails bulging. It took years, but we are proud to say that we are on course to spectacular new horizons and we cordially invite you to join us on this journey. We promise to show you things that you never imagined possible. Experiences that you will never forget, and souvenirs to keep those memories alive for years to come. On top of this, state of the art, professional service that you would expect from a world class business.
