About Us

Hey there! 👋 I’m Vincent (or Vince, Vin, etc.), founder of The Mineral Movement.

My fascination with minerals began when I was about 7 years old, after receiving a geology magazine as a gift. Inside, there was a small piece of ruby, and that tiny gem ignited a curiosity that has stayed with me ever since. I was captivated by the incredible stories behind each mineral and the natural processes that shaped them. That moment marked the beginning of what would eventually become The Mineral Movement.

In 2020, my girlfriend launched a crystals business, and I had the opportunity to learn a great deal from her and the way she approached the industry. Last year, we ran the business together, but she decided to move on to pursue other interests (she’s a beading babe now, have a look, her creations are stunning! @beadingbabes.nl). Even though we moved in different directions business-wise, my love for minerals remained, and for months, I couldn’t shake the idea of starting something new.

Over the past few years, I’ve also noticed a shift in the market—a growing trend toward mass-produced minerals, often lacking transparency about their origins and the true significance behind them. This change didn’t sit well with me. I believe every mineral deserves a story that goes beyond just being a pretty object, and I wanted to create a space where people could connect with pieces that were authentic, meaningful, and thoughtfully sourced. That’s when The Mineral Movement was born.

The goal is simple: to offer minerals that not only showcase the beauty of our planet but are also sourced responsibly, with fair pricing and transparency. Each piece tells a story, and I'm proud to share these incredible Earth-made treasures with you. Whether you're a longtime collector or just beginning your journey, I hope you can feel the same passion for the natural world that has driven me all these years.

Every mineral in our collection is a piece of Earth’s history, and I’m excited to share them with you. Let’s celebrate the wonders of nature together, one mineral at a time. 💎✨
