Advantages of Miniature Minerals

Minera Emporium’s miniature mineral collection offers a wide range of high quality minerals for all types of collectors. Miniature minerals have many advantages over collecting larger specimens. Miniature mineral specimens take up less space, they cost less than larger specimens and are easier to transport. Miniature minerals often display more perfect crystals than larger specimens. Miniature mineral specimens are sometimes the only available specimens from localities that do not yield larger crystals, and many rare types of crystals are only found in microscopic sizes. 

Whether you are a seasoned collector or just starting out, miniature minerals offer a great starting point to expanding one’s understanding of the mineral kingdom. We invite you to complete additional research on your specimens, to highlight the particular properties of the minerals you acquire; including, but not limited to, the species, the color, the crystal system, the structural group, the hardness, the locality. Knowing the details relative to your pieces will help you develop a greater appreciation of the complexities of the mineral kingdom, and fine tune your acquisition processes.
