Specimens from these projects such as the “Dragon” gold and “Alma King” rhodochrosite have become household names in the mineral collecting world.
La Marina Mine, Boyaca Department, Colombia
A spectacular example of the mineral species Euclase. This specimen was acquired by Collector’s Edge in 2015 from Colombia. The specimen was prepared and sold by Collector’s Edge to one of America’s leading private mineral collectors. This is considered by many to be one of the top Euclase specimens in the world.
Over the past 35 years, Collectors Edge has acquired some of the world’s most important private collections to secure mineral classics for our clients.
Notable acquired collections include the F. John Barlow Collection, the Dr. Stephen Neely Collection, the Philadelphia Academy Of Natural Sciences Collection, etc.
We value and respect discretion in all our client relationships and work to discretely help our clients acquire significant mineral specimens as well as sell them when the time is right.
Whether you are just starting out or are a veteran collector, Collectors Edge can be a trusted source of world-class minerals.
Collector’s Edge established the world’s first commercial preparation lab to transform the mineral specimens we mine and acquire into pristine, high-quality pieces.
By using state-of-the-art equipment and proprietary processes, our laboratory is able to reveal the full beauty nature created and add significant value to our minerals.
