New Features

Collectors and dealers can now download QR codes for their specimens on EarthWonders after adding an item to their collection. Our members can already save minerals they liked on EarthWonders by adding it to their Bookmarks. Now you can scan an EarthWonders QR code in a display, read all the information and save it for later.

Will shows exactly how it works (and shows off his incredible collection!) in this video:

QR codes: Finding Minerals You Liked At the ShowTired of going to mineral shows, take photos of every rock you liked and then forgetting all the prices and information? You can download and print QR codes for your items straight from your EarthWonders specimen page and help let collectors scan it at the show, pull up the item, save it to bookmarks, watch the videos you uploaded, understand the locality, provenance and buy the item even after the show.

New Localities

We are bringing you new mineral specimens every day with over 75 000 items for sale, in private collections and museums! The team has been refining locality information and found so many stunning views, we wanted to share some them with you.

Email us your favourite localities and if you can't find them on EarthWonders we will work on them next! This week we are bringing you Malkhan, Milpillas and Mashamba.

Malkhan, Russia - Tourmaline
Malkhan, Russia - TourmalineDeep in Siberia's Malkhan Ridge lies some of Earth's most spectacular red tourmaline. These rubellites, discovered in the 1970s, range from soft pink to deep raspberry and can reach stunning sizes. Their remarkable clarity and intense color have captivated both new collectors and serious mineral enthusiasts for decades.More from Red Cloud Mine
Milpillas, Mexico - Azurite
Milpillas, Mexico - AzuriteMiners among dusty copper mines in Mexico first broke into pristine azurite pockets in 2003. Even seasoned collectors couldn't believe their eyes. Each crystal was in midnight blue - flawless, razor-edged, and so perfect they looked unreal. Old-timers cleared space in their displays, new collectors saw what mineral perfection looks like. Milpillas azurites have changed the game forever.More from Milpillas
Mashamba, DR Congo - Calcite
Mashamba, DR Congo - CalciteFrom Congo's copper country, Mashamba West delivered something nobody saw coming - calcites in pure bubble-gum pink. These weren't your typical pale blades or dusty specimens, but gemmy, sharp-edged crystals that could easily be mistaken for rhodochrosite at first glance. Perfect crystal form combined with a color that belongs more in a fashion show than a copper mine, even collectors who usually yawn at calcite reach for their wallets when a pink Mashamba shows up.Mashamba, DR Congo - Calcite
