Swiss Membrini collection

The Membrini collection is museum-quality and has been carefully curated over many years by Membrini Kristall, a company based in Chur, Switzerland. A company with a worldwide excellent reputation for crystals.

Like Stone gallery, Membrini Kristall is a family business with a long history. Founder Paul Membrini was a well-known 'strahler'. A 'strahler' is a professional crystal prospector whose working area is the Alps.

Impressive are the photos showing Paul, hanging from climbing ropes at high altitude, risking his life in search of new crystals. A recognised alpinist/expert, he found very special pieces in the Swiss Alps.

The second generation, Romeo & Rosita Membrini, went international with Membrini Kristall and also gave the collection an international character. Recently, the third generation took over the family business, focusing on jewellery, smaller gemstones and minerals.

This gave Stone gallery the unique opportunity to bring the large museum pieces from the Membrini collection to the Netherlands.

The Membrini collection consists of a variety of rock crystal clusters, citrine, smoky quartz, feldspar, amethyst and petrified wood. Many pieces are of museum quality and size, for example, a prominent piece has already found its way to Museum Naturalis in Leiden.
