Mexcio
North America
From the volcanic deserts of Chihuahua to the silver-rich mountains of Zacatecas, Mexico is home to some of the world’s most vivid and collectible crystals. Known for its Amethyst, Calcite, Fluorite, and Obsidian, the country’s mineral legacy spans ancient Aztec craftsmanship to modern gem artistry.
MINING REGIONS
Guerrero & Vera Cruz — Amethyst Mines
The Guerrero region produces deep-purple, saturated amethyst with world-famous clarity, while Vera Cruz yields delicate lavender crystals that grow in long, slender formations. These contrasting hues make Mexican Amethyst some of the most collectible in the world.
Naica & Chihuahua — The Crystal Caves
Naica’s “Cave of the Crystals” in Chihuahua is one of the most extraordinary mineral sites ever discovered — hosting selenite crystals up to 36 feet long and weighing 55 tons. Though the cave is closed to the public, it remains a geological wonder and a symbol of Mexico’s crystal heritage.
Ojuela Mine, Mapimí — Fluorite & Hemimorphite
The Ojuela Mine is a legendary locality known for its rainbow fluorite, metallic pyrite, and electric-blue hemimorphite. Discovered in the 1500s, it remains one of the most mineralogically diverse mines in the world.

Founder’s Note
Collected with Intention
Every crystal begins as an encounter shaped by time and human touch. I personally source each piece, working closely with miners and artisans who handle them with care.
As a photographer and lifelong lover of design, I’m drawn to light, color, and form, the same elements that make crystals feel like natural works of art.
Each piece is photographed in natural light to honor its true texture and energy, a quiet balance of beauty, material, and meaning.

No major gem species are exclusive to Mexico, but several locality-specific classics are: the giant selenite (gypsum) crystals of Naica, the slender Veracruz Amethyst habit, and vivid blue Hemimorphite from the Ojuela Mine. These forms are considered uniquely Mexican in look and provenance.
The giant selenite crystals in Naica’s Cave of the Crystals (Chihuahua) — some up to 39 ft (≈11 m) long and ~55 tons — among the largest natural crystals ever discovered.
Mexico does not have an officially declared national gemstone, but Mexican Fire Opal is widely regarded as the country’s signature gem, alongside historic obsidian.
Mexico is world-renowned for its silver jewelry, especially from Taxco, Guerrero — a historic town celebrated for its master silversmiths since the 1500s. Mexican artisans craft intricate necklaces, cuffs, and earrings using sterling silver, turquoise, obsidian, and fire opal. Many designs blend pre-Columbian symbolism with modern artistry, making Mexican silver jewelry highly collectible around the world.
