Astrid and Jacob, both degreed geologists, began their journey together while living in Rio de Janeiro, Brazil. Consequently, their love for exploration led them to prospect throughout Minas Gerais and Rio Grande do Sul. Moreover, their passion for discovery took them through far-flung villages in the remote countryside. Whether they were lost in the jungle searching for aquamarines or narrowly escaping gun-toting pistoleros in the dried-out Rio Doce river basin, they often encountered the good-natured hospitality of kind-hearted miners and their families.
In each adventure, they brought donations of backpacks filled with clothes, and sometimes even fresh chicken for those who primarily lived off fruits and vegetables. As a result of these goodwill gestures, they were introduced to family or friends in other parts of Brazil. They directly source bow Alligator Quartz, Amethyst, Apatite, Aquamarine, Calcite, Emerald, Imperial Topaz, Muscovite, and the famed Tourmalines from Aricanga and Chia mine!
About Katy Rock Shop
Astrid and Jacob subsequently started their rock and mineral sales business under the name “Gems In The Rough”. Later, they moved to Katy, Texas, and now proudly bring their findings and acquisitions to the public through The Katy Rock Shop. Although new expeditions bring new adventures, they have developed the connections and network to export truly unique mineral specimens, which rarely become available to the public
