About Us

SZ Minéraux, A story, A lot of passions

Sans titre-42

Her and Him and More...

We are Cédric and Mathilde, SZ-Mineraux .

Cédric, 35 years old, passionate about fossils and minerals since my earliest childhood when I went to look for fossils in the fields with my father and my friends. I completed my studies in two stages: mechanical engineering first, then Geosciences on Nancy. I combined these two specialties to create my company for the sale of collectible minerals and custom base.

Mathilde, 30, at the bank advisor base, I decided to devote myself 100% to the company since September 2019. For the last 11 years, I have been participating in trade shows, sales, online marketing, bases, etc. Two full-time jobs.

But with the arrival of our little Trystan, we had to make a choice and he naturally turned to mineralogy.

We have been together for 12 years and share the same passion. We started selling 11 years ago through a self-starting company; and we have evolved to the status of SARL 5 years ago because we realize in addition to the sale of collection minerals of customized bases. Indeed, to allow an optimal enhancement of your specimens, we realize bases where there is no need for glue or adhesive paste to hold your piece.

You can find us on the world’s biggest stock exchanges (when they can resume!): Tucson, Munich, Sainte-Marie-aux-Mines. And in various in France or abroad: Paris Charenton and Marriott, Lyon, Millau, Switzerland, Germany, etc.

Presentation

Our job is to highlight your specimens with a base specially designed for them.
Our bases are made of PMMA (acrylic glass) in Europe and anti-UV treatment to prevent yellowing. This high-quality acrylic glass is polished with diamond in France to achieve incredible transparency.
We can currently make your bases in transparent, black, white or brushed PMMA (other colors available on request).
We can add a text engraved on the front of the base, painted or not, in black, white or white reacting to UV.

We guarantee the bases, our work ranges from imprint to adjustment once the base is finished.

We work for collectors and professionals, as well as for museums.

Modalities

It all starts with the foam impression in a specially designed foam kit. We no longer need your specimen after taking the print, so there is no risk of breakage or loss when sending the base, and you keep your specimen at home.

For a first experience, we advise you to make foam impression with us, either by appointment or on a show.

For more informations, contact us directly by email or phone.
