WHO’S ON SHOW!!
Private Collectors in Southern Africa
South Africa is no "small country" i.t.o. Rockhounds and Collectors known worldwide. With globally known localities like Zomba, Brandberg, Erongo, Tsumeb, Mussina and the Kalahari Manganese Fields in our region, we have some of the most spectacular collections (collectors) on the sub continent and can SHOW with pride.
We are pulling out all stops to make these Show-pages a true SHOWCASE of the mineral riches of Southern Africa … inviting mines and collectors of specimens from the most famous Southern African localities (i.e. Tsumeb, KMF, Orange River, Boekenhouthoek, etc) to exhibit “centre piece showcases” at our shows. An attraction that will surely get the International PRESS, dealers and collectors excited.
On these “people pages” we want to introduce you to some of the most spectacular collections in Southern Africa … by far not all of them, but the list is ever growing …
Please be patient, we are publishing the collections of high profile Rockhounds and Collectors, who are not always available for photography, on this page. For a few of these (see links) we can already give you a sneak preview, but to see it all, you'll have to revisit this page over the next few months ... it WILL be worth it!

In a class of their own, we’ve got two artists / collectors, who took their mineral collecting a step further, to Fine Art:
And then, last but not least, a couple of Southern African collectors that’s not in our beautiful country anymore, but still deserve the mention. These collections, which for many years ranked under the TOP SA collections, obviously went with the owner:
