Perhaps the "real" Ark of Noah, reflecting a second, in addition to be not place for Plant Kingdom, were not provided even the minerals, either as ballast, let alone collectible, but deal with natural items (now we're talking about our company) omitting also Mineral Kingdom (never mind Botany that -at least for now- leaves the experts in the field: we're all zoologists, entomologists and paleontologists) we 're a little sorry, so, as not to disappoint the fans and collectors, we will try to accommodate you as best we can.
Most of the minerals and rocks of our catalog consists of pieces in the raw state of various sizes (expressed in grams), mostly on small and medium. We have both individual pieces and unique, as is sometimes inevitable in the world of minerals, where it is not provided a DNA that establishes its forms but also pieces for convenience divided into weight categories. There are also small collections of 15 or 30 minerals of various parts of the world, with possible adjoining book.
The smaller samples, if you wish, you can include them in boxes of clear plexiglas with bottom interlocking (some also divided into 10 or 15 compartments with hinged lid) or in boxes of cellophane or cardboard folding of various sizes, and in this regard we refer to our Equipment Catalog.
We also have various types of raw crystals druzes, meteorites (chondrites, siderites, tektites, moldavites), worked and polished stones in varying shapes, such as spheres, pyramids, obelisks or cut into slices, as in the case of agates), some variety of pendants also in silver frames, quartz geodes, and so on.
You will also find search cut stones, gems and crystals, raw or finished, ready to mount or like cabouchons, for adornment and jewelry. They are offered for sale either individually or in lots, all at a discount compared to the normal market quotation value.
We have included in this catalog (always minerals they are) a special place for costume jewerly and various mounted stones, such as pendants, bracelets, necklaces, parures, cabochon, earrings, keychains, and more.
A separate discussion would be made for crystal therapy, an ancient instrument of care taken by the New Age, but is not this the place to go deeper and we refer to section Articles and Columns (Naturalistic Portal in homepage, left column), where you can find an useful guide about the properties of various minerals and crystals (to this link, only italian language, sorry) Among the items that concern, however, we have obviously the tumbled stones from small to large polished pebbles, also pierced, both on weight for sale individually, points of quartz or amethyst, rock crystal massagers, pendulums, eggs, seer stones, etc).
As about the other categories, remember that our catalog is subject to frequent updates, so check back often to visit if you are looking for something new.
And now ... good digging!
Guide to the consultation of the catalog

The black text below the red name of the item, indicates the main topic which belongs to the item in question; then follow, inside the item-card, some sub-categories (blue, green, orange and yellow) in which it can be further subdivided. For example: Picasso jasper is in the section "crystaltherapy" (blue text), than amid "crystal therapy tumbled stones" (green text), in particular in the category "tumbled stones" (orange text) and in the last subcategory "tumbled weight" (yellow text). The items of the various categories can be found among them in alphabetical order.
