About

Hi there!

My name is Marina and I am the founder of Minera Emporium, a passion-fuelled project I started springtime 2018. 

I’ve always been fascinated by the mineral kingdom. My mother supported my passion by helping me start a collection of small tumbles when I was young. I kept these specimens in little vials – numbered! with the names of the stones in a little notebook! It was always a great pleasure to add new stones to my collection, I was fascinated by them.

Fast-forward to 2018, following a few twists and turns of life, I decided to start a hobby side-project involving sourcing and making available beautiful collection pieces of the mineral kingdom. To this was quickly added the gemstone bracelet collection, which showcased the wide variety of minerals available to us throughout the world. 

I started off selling in markets throughout the Laurentian region of Quebec with my mom, my business partner! She brought to the table a whole range of knowledge about the talismanic use of stones for emotional, spiritual, and physical work. 

We were so touched by our clients’ support that we proceeded to open a physical shop, Minera Atelier Boutique, in Morin Heights. We could see our products were well loved, and greatly enjoyed the public’s response. However, due to outside circumstances, we had to close our physical space the following year. 

We now have more liberty to focus on our range of products and services – we have an online shop, receive local clients in our shop space at home, and also appear in markets in Quebec. Make sure to follow us on social media to learn more about our treasures, and where you can find us! 

It is our pleasure to share with you our knowledge of the mineral kingdom… it is also a great pleasure to be on the lookout for specific treasures you might be looking for. Feel very welcomed to reach out to us regarding questions or requests!

Regards,

Marina
