About Us

Our Story

At PhD Minerals, we take pride in offering carefully curated crystal and mineral specimens for collectors around the world. What started as a passion for geology and field collecting has grown into a commitment to sourcing unique, high-quality specimens with an emphasis on Canadian and American localities.

Our Mission

We believe every specimen tells a story—of earth’s history, locality, and formation. That’s why we focus on authenticity, provenance, and quality. Whether you’re a new collector or a seasoned expert, our goal is to provide pieces that inspire curiosity and appreciation.

What Makes Us Different

  • Carefully selected specimens with accurate mineral identification
  • Focus on classic and scientifically significant localities, including Canada’s famous Rapid Creek Lazulite
  • Photographs that show true detail and color
  • A personal, collector-first approach—because we’re collectors too
