The cabinet
A natural-history collection, catalogued and opened to you.
Druzor exists for one reason: to put documented mineral, fossil and meteorite specimens in the hands of people who care about them — every piece measured, catalogued and presented with the seriousness a museum would bring to it.
How it started
Druzor grew out of a private collection that had quietly outgrown its shelves. What began as a few amethyst points and an ammonite became cases of catalogued specimens, each with a card recording its species, locality and the story of how it formed. Friends asked to buy pieces. Then friends of friends. The cabinet became a shop.
From the outset the principle was simple and non-negotiable: nothing leaves the cabinet without documentation. If we cannot tell you the species, the locality and whether a piece has been treated, we do not sell it. That single rule shapes everything — what we buy, how we describe it, and the trust we ask you to place in us.
The cabinet today
We work with a small network of trusted dealers, miners and estate sources across the mineral and fossil world. Every specimen is examined under the loupe and the UV lamp, measured and weighed, then catalogued against the reference literature before it is photographed and listed. Fossils and meteorites are sourced with their collecting history intact wherever possible.
We keep the range deliberately tight — a curated cabinet, not a warehouse. You will find a single fine example of a species rather than a shelf of mediocre ones, each mounted on the stand or sealed in the case it deserves.
Principles of the cabinet
01
Documentation as a duty
Species, locality, hardness, formula, dimensions and weight — recorded for every specimen and printed on a provenance card. If a detail is unknown, we say so plainly rather than guessing.
02
Honesty about treatment
Natural unless noted. Where a piece is heated, dyed, stabilised or repaired, we disclose it without exception. Citrine that began as amethyst is sold as exactly that.
03
Sourcing with conscience
We favour specimens with a known collecting history and avoid material whose origin we cannot stand behind. Fossils and meteorites are handled with respect for the law and the science.
From source to cabinet
Sourcing
Specimens are selected from trusted dealers, mine-direct parcels and private collections. We look for quality, character and — above all — a traceable origin we can document.
Examination
Each piece is studied under loupe and UV, identified against the reference literature, then measured and weighed. Any treatment or repair is noted for the listing.
Cataloguing
We record species, locality, hardness, formula, dimensions and weight, write the provenance card, and photograph the specimen so what you see is what you receive.
Mounting & dispatch
The specimen is fitted to the right stand or sealed in a protective case, packed with care, and shipped insured worldwide with its documentation enclosed.
