What if a quartz one day becomes more precious than a diamond?
A new market has been born where minerals are the masters, and those who buy them are no longer just geology enthusiasts but also art collectors. It would seem that rare minerals can enhance colors and shapes like a sculpture or a painting, and buying them as an investment is increasingly profitable. Twelve thousand dollars for an agglomeration of rhodochrosite with fluorite and quartz from China, more than seven thousand for a rock of wulfenite with dioptase on calcite. These are just some of the prices for the compositions of some rocks sold by some boutiques specializing in minerals.
