World’s Finest Tugtupite
Specimen - view...
A major specimen was recovered from the gem tugtupite mines this summer. It is probably the largest and finest piece ever recovered from these mines (which are rapidly being depleted). Check it out - this may be the last opportunity to add a truly world-class specimen to your collection

 History and data of Tugtupite  

 and Gemstones Mineraler and Gem stones of Tugtupite and Greenlandit Nuumite sodalit Qaqortoqit (Milaktit)

Greenland have the oldest mountains and minerals in the world, a paradise for geologists and collectors. Here in Narsaq we have aproximately 255 minerals and one new mineral is found just about every year.

The most demanded jewel stone is the tugtupite both raw and as a jewel, because of its dark red colour. It is only found here in Narsaq. JSG has export permits allowing JSG to export large quantities of gem stones and minerals to other countries.

Greenland Tours
A True “Geo-Adventure”

MinerShop and Jewel Stones of Greenland offer guided Mineral Geo Adventure Tours to the major sites within the Ilimaussaq Complex.   During our Greenland Tour you will visit Kvanefjeld, Kangerdlussaq, and Tunulliarfik for 5 to 10 days of intense mineral exploration. For references, please visit our customer comments section, browse the Trip Report pages and our online guide to a Greenland Adventure of a lifetime.

Join us for a Greenland Tour!
“Mt. St. Hilaire - without the crowds or
the magnifying glass.”

Over 200 minerals have been identified from this unique complex - over 15 of them only found here.  Ilimaussaq is the type locality for many alkaline minerals and the variety is amazing! Even more amazing is the yet to be discovered variety of fluorescent rocks and minerals. Greenland is essentially “virgin territory” for collecting fluorescent rocks and minerals.   We have our choice of camping in the mountains, staying in hotels, travel by boat, car, and hiking.  Fluorescent mineral collecting is the primary focus but any rock collector interested in this rare and unique mineralogy should consider our Greenland Geology Adventure Tour - a trip of a lifetime.

MinerShop.com offers unique and unusual fluorescent (mostly) mineral specimens and jewelry from Greenland, including deeply tenebrescent green sodalite (variety hackmanite) many varieties of tugtupite, and other rare minerals - as well as a wide offering of minerals from around the world.  We collect our own specimens directly from the Ilimaussaq Complex, a “Geologist’s Mecca”  in Southern Greenland.
