Before gemstones, there were minerals. From gravel to ore, let's explore natural resources through the eyes of crystal collectors. Discover forms, colors, and textures you've never contemplated before!
In the upcpming "Journey with Minerals" exhibition at L’ÉCOLE Asia Pacific, School of Jewelry Arts, the public is invited to explore the intriguing links between rocks and the spheres of matter, jewelry, technology, arts, and space. In partnership with the renowned French institution, Mineralogy Museum Mines Paris - PSL, created in the 18th century to encourage academic and field study of geological treasures, this online conversation goes beyond chemistry and physics to investigate the history and figures that have shaped mineralogy as a scientific discipline today.
Our distinguished speakers, namely Eloïse and Olivier, invite you to reevaluate the world around us and rediscover the incredible shapes and structures that make minerals so fascinating in human history and beyond. Whether you're interested in jewelry making, industry, or just the beauty of the natural world, don't miss this chance to explore the world of minerals!
