About the Crystal Hunter
Since I held my first crystal from the rock as a child...
...I knew that the mountains have more to offer than just their imposing beauty. Beneath the surface, hidden in veins and crevices, treasures await that have grown over millions of years.
"Strahlen" – as crystal hunting is called in Switzerland – is an ancient tradition. For centuries, Strahler (crystal hunters) have climbed the mountains to find rock crystals, smoky quartz, and other minerals. I am proud to carry on this tradition.
Today, I share my passion in two ways: On guided crystal hunting tours, I show you how to find crystals, and in the online shop, I sell selected finds – each one with documented provenance and a discovery video.
My Philosophy
Respect for Nature
I only take what the mountains give up. Every vein is left the way I found it.
Authenticity
Every crystal is personally found and documented by me. No middlemen, no mass production.
Sharing Knowledge
On tours, I share my knowledge about geology, minerals, and the art of crystal hunting.
