About Us
Hi lovely person! Thank you for popping into About Us
section to get to know more about the people behind the beauties you see on the
website.
My name is Katarina and I am a passionate mineral collector.
My fascination with minerals started at 8 years old when my mum brought me to
my first mineral exhibition. Since then I got the mineral ‘bug’ and started to
gather wee specimens I could afford. My parents, who are also passionate about
minerals, travelled all over the world, bringing me lovely specimens and building
up my collection to enjoy.
Most of my life I have been collecting minerals, however,
when I got into my full-time PhD program, I had to start selling specimens from
my collection to support myself and my family. I made a Facebook page and
shared my posts in the mineral groups. People loved my specimens, their kind
words encouraged me to open my wee business, which is more like a life passion
to me than anything else!
With the support of my parents, I am building up Mineral
Lagoon to provide you with quality specimens from all over the world. Our goal
is to spread the love and appreciation for natural mineral beauties, their
form, their combination, their colour and their structure. Minerals are considered to
be not alive, however, they form, they grow and each specimen has its own personality.
Each specimen is a unique natural art piece with its own aesthetics.
We hope that you grow your fascination with minerals with
us.
Now that you have learned a bit more about us and Mineral
Lagoon, I would like to thank you for your interest and for being a part of
Mineral Lagoon supporters.
Say hi to me on Instagram or Facebook.
Cheers,
Katarina
