The Collector’s Edge is first and foremost a mineral specimen and gemstone mining company.
We specialize in locating, exploring, and developing mining properties to their full potential. Our innovative mining team has developed special location and extraction techniques which dramatically improve the quality and quantity of the specimens and gems we recover. Since 1984, we have been having a “blast” mining in interesting, challenging, and often exotic localities. Our worldwide mining efforts have yielded a diverse array of colorful, spectacularly beautiful mineral specimens and gemstones. We are most excited to share the thrill of discovery with you.
