Click on picture to close the window Mario Pauwels is born in Belgium in 1964, and lives in Burcht, near the city of Antwerp, in the northern and flemisch speaking part of Belgium. Without any familiar background in mineral collecting, but with the support of his parents, he started already collecting minerals when he was a ten years old boy. In 1989 he began selling limited numbers of selected minerals. Nevertheless, he still considers himself more of a collector than as a dealer, and he has assembled a fine personal collection of aestetic, unrepaired and undamaged mineral specimens and gem crystals from worldwide locations He is always in search to add new specimens or upgrade specimens from his collection. Dealers or collectors can always contact him if they have unrepaired specimens to sell or trade.
