We started XTAL in 1988 to provide top quality mineral specimens from Mexico. I go to Mexico six times each year to search out what's new and exciting in old classics and new finds for collectors, museums and wholesale dealers.

Hot News

My last trip to Mexico in June yielded some very nice material.
Taman, San Luis Potosi, Mexico had some of the best large Smoky Quartz with Fensters and some with enhydros that I have ever gotten from there. These were once claimed to have been from Oaxaca and called "Oaxacamers" because they resemble the quartz from Herkimer NY. 

Santa Eulalia, Chihuahua, Mexico is producing some very nice Aragonite and Calcite from a small cave located in the mine. They are very reasonably  priced.

Recent trips to the "Raspberry" Grossular quarry in the Sierra de Cruces, Coahuila, Mexico has produced the first new specimens in ten years. Thumbnails to large cabinet specimens are available. They are also fluorescent red under mid range and to a lesser degree in short wave with a background of calcite that phosphoresce blue white.
