We are Cédric and Mathilde from SZ-Minéraux.

Cédric, 39, has been passionate about fossils and minerals since my childhood, where I went looking for fossils in the fields with my father and friends. I continued my studies in two phases: mechanical engineering first, then geosciences in Nancy. I combined these two areas to create my own company specializing in the sale of collectible minerals and the manufacture of custom-made pedestals. Now, we make only minerals sellers since the beggining of 2024.

Mathilde, 34, a former banking advisor, I decided to devote myself entirely to our company since last September. For the past 16 years I have worked full time in trade shows, online sales, socle design, etc.

With the arrival of our little Trystan, we had to make choices and we naturally turned to mineralogy.

We have been sharing the same passion for 16 years and working together. We started selling our minerals 15 years ago as a self-entrepreneur, and 8 years ago we evolved into a LLC because we also offer custom-made pedestals for optimal presentation of your specimens, without the need for glue or adhesive.

Since January 2024, we have stopped our soclage activity to focus exclusively on the sale of minerals and the organization of our show in Paris. We had to make a choice because these two activities required us a lot of time and effort. Our main goal is now to provide the best minerals and create an exceptional event through our annual show in Paris. You can count on our total commitment in these areas that we are deeply passionate about.

Since 2022, we have been organizing the International Mineral Expo Paris, an event dedicated to minerals, fossils, jewelry and gems. This show takes place every year on the first weekend of December at the Espace Charenton (327, rue de Charenton - 75012 PARIS).
