✨ Welcome to LBV Fine Minerals! ✨
My name is Flor, and my journey with crystals began long before it became my calling.
As a young collector, I was captivated by the earth's natural treasures, particularly fluorites with their mesmerizing cubic shapes and color zoning that never failed to bring me joy. However, like many of us, I followed a conventional path, spending nearly two decades in the corporate pharmaceutical industry, pushing aside my passion for nature's artistry.
Life has a way of bringing us back to our true path. After experiencing a severe health crisis with sepsis following the birth of my child, I found myself reevaluating everything. In that moment of vulnerability, I realized how far I had drifted from what truly brought me happiness. This challenging experience became my wake-up call to return to what had always brought me peace and joy - the world of minerals and crystals.
Today, from my mindful space in San Francisco, I curate each piece with intention and care. My former work-from-home desk, once cluttered with corporate spreadsheets and presentations, has transformed into a sacred space where each crystal and mineral specimen is thoughtfully prepared for its new home. I carefully select display stands for raw specimens and take pride in offering collector's pieces at accessible prices.
What began as a childhood fascination has blossomed into a mission to share these earth's treasures with both serious collectors and those beginning their crystal journey.
Whether you're a mineral enthusiast seeking that perfect specimen for your collection, or someone drawn to the healing energies of crystals, I'm here to help you discover pieces that speak to your soul!
