STOCKING A LARGE RANGE OF HIGH-QUALITY COLLECTOR MINERAL SPECIMENS & CRYSTALS




HELLO FROM MINERAL STORE STOCKING QUEENSLAND’S LARGEST RANGE OF FINE MINERALS
AND CRYSTALS

Mineral Store Australia was founded by Tony and Jude Forsyth in 2012. Tony has
been an avid mineral collector for over 50 years and Mineral Store Australia was
established to allow them to bring a large selection of minerals and finely
crystallised specimens, collected over countless years, to the market.

Tony is a past president of the Mineralogical Society of Queensland and is also
the current Honorary Curator of the Minerals Heritage Museum located within the
Queensland Museum at Southbank in Brisbane.

In June 2021 Tony and Jude retired and sold the business to David and Janelle
Bissett. David is another long-time collector and began dealing at shows in
2009. David and Janelle are local to Tony and Jude in Brisbane and are well
known for their current business – Australian Rocks and Minerals. David was the
purchaser of the Norman Donpon Estate Collection in 2018 and has an extensive
knowledge of lapidary work as well as mineral collecting.

David and Janelle aim to follow on from Tony’s passion for minerals and
collecting which means that you will always receive sound advice and quality
specimens at fair prices. Please feel free to contact us if you have a special
mineral requirement, a collection to be appraised or a special specimen for a
present. We offer vouchers as presents for a special occasion.


MINERAL SHOWS IN 2023


Due to COVID19 the show circuit is still in disarray! Please revisit to see our
latest information. If you are having withdrawal symptoms, why not visit our
Mineral Sales Page!

 


SPECIMEN VALUATIONS



Tony Forsyth is approved by the Federal Government to value Mineral specimens,
gold specimens, gem crystals and meteorites
“Approved to value for the Australian Government’s Cultural Gifts Program”
If you would like a valuation please contact us and we will pass your details on
to Tony.

 


ICONIC SPECIMENS!

In 2020 we purchased a fabulous old specimen to repatriate to Australia!
Nickname “Brutus” by the buyer, it is a 43kg jackstraw specimen of cerussite
from Broken Hill, NSW, Australia.



 


MINERAL STORE AUSTRALIA ONLY TAKES A SMALL PERCENTAGE OF OUR STOCK TO SHOWS.
PLEASE LET US KNOW IF YOU ARE AFTER SOMETHING IN PARTICULAR – WITH THOUSANDS OF
SPECIMENS IN STOCK YOU NEVER KNOW WHAT WE MIGHT HAVE!


HOME SHOW


WE USUALLY HAVE A HOME SHOW EVENT AT BIRKDALE ON BRISBANE’S BAYSIDE DURING THE
YEAR TO GIVE PEOPLE AN OPPORTUNITY TO SEE SOME OF THE STOCK WE DON’T TAKE TO
SHOWS. IN ADDITION TO OUR EXCELLENT MINERAL AND CRYSTAL SPECIMENS WE ALSO HAVE
GREAT QUALITY LAPIDARY ROUGH AND DECORATOR SPECIMENS INCLUDING SOME SPECTACULAR
PETRIFIED WOOD SUITABLE FOR LANDSCAPING PROJECTS.


THE BELOW PICTURE SHOWS TONY’S WELL STOCKED ROOM – WE LOOK FORWARD TO HAVING
SOMETHING SIMILAR IN THE FUTURE. 




INTERNATIONAL MINERAL SHOWS


We travel extensively overseas to purchase the very best specimens to sell
within Australia.  In 2020 David attended the Tucson Arizona USA show. We have
been busy using our extensive contacts built up over the years to ensure we
continue to bring fresh stock to our customers.

In past years Tony and Jude have made multiple visits to the Munich Show and the
St Marie aux Mines show in France.

 


TONY FORSYTH CALENDARS

The annual Mineral Store Australia calendar has been a keenly awaited release
each year for the past 10 years – adorning walls well beyond the calendar year.

We have sold out of the 2023 Calendars – the 2024 version should be available in
September

 


AUSTRALIAN MINERAL SHOWS

 


WE NOW HAVE AN ONLINE STORE HERE ON THIS WEBSITE


PLEASE CHECK OFTEN TO SEE WHAT NEW MATERIAL IS ADDED.


TASMANIAN CROCOITE

 

In October 2017 we obtained a large quantity of the rare mineral, crocoite,
mined in the early 1990s at the famous Adelaide Mine, Dundas, Tasmania by the
late Frank Mihajilowitz. This 33cm specimen was our latest delivery!
