The WORLD of FMI
Over the past three decades, we have passionately sourced and expertly curated many of the most celebrated masterpieces in the mineralogical world.
In that time, we have amassed a wealth of first-hand experience, extensive photographic and video archives, and a growing body of educational material that we continue to refine and share with the community. Below is an expanding library of resources for collectors, with new content added and refined on an ongoing basis
Fine Minerals International, our crystal specimens, and the art of mineral collecting have been profiled in many distinguished books, journals, and magazines. The following list highlights some of the most notable publications:
The New York Times, Forbes Magazine, The Mineralogical Record, American Mineral Treasures, Masterpieces of the Mineral World: Treasures from the Houston Museum of Natural Science, Brutus Magazine, the Financial Times, The Art Newspaper, The Robb Report, Luxury Magazine, and more.
To quote John Quincy Adams, “If your actions inspire others to dream more, learn more, do more, and become more, you are a leader.”
At FMI, we embrace that methodology every day. We believe the privilege of knowledge is inseparable from the duty to teach. Guided by this philosophy, we are constantly creating original and groundbreaking content dedicated to educating and inspiring collectors of all echelons.
