A micromount mineral (or simply micromount) is a very small mineral specimen that is mounted and usually examined under a microscope. These specimens are typically too small to be appreciated or identified with the naked eye, but they often display excellent crystal form, color, and perfection when viewed at magnification. (Micromount definition, Wikipedia)
Micromount minerals are essential to mineralogy because many species never form visible macrocrystals, revealing their beauty only under magnification.
Micromounts allow collectors to study perfect crystal forms that are too small to appreciate with the naked eye.
A proper micromount preserves delicate specimens, preventing damage and ensuring long-term stability.
At Allmicromounts, every micromount is prepared to showcase the specimen from the best mineralogical point of view.
We craft every micromount with precision, always positioning the specimen for optimal viewing.

Below you will find some featured mineral families and the micromount minerals we have available in each family
These minerals are made up of carbonate ions (CO3) and a metal ion, such as calcium or magnesium. Examples include calcite and dolomite.
These minerals are made up of oxygen and a metal ion. The oxide mineral class includes those minerals in which the oxide anion (O2) is bonded to one or more metal ions. The hydroxide bearing minerals are typically included in the oxide class. Examples include hematite and magnetite.
Phosphate minerals are those minerals that contain the tetrahedrally coordinated phosphate (PO4) anion along with the freely substituting arsenate (AsO43-) and vanadate (VO43-). Chlorine (Cl-), fluorine (F-), and hydroxide (OH-) anions also fit into the crystal structure.
Sulfates, Selenates, Tellurates, Chromates, Molybdates, Wolframates This class represents great group of minerals with respective complexes: SO4, TeO4, CrO4, MoO4, WO4 tetrahedra. This class is classified into groups of hydrous and anhydrous minerals.
Many mineral collectors focus on specimens from specific countries or famous localities.
Some areas are legendary among collectors, producing crystals of exceptional size or clarity.
Mineral collections organized by country or locality highlight the geological diversity of specific regions. They allow collectors to trace how unique environmental conditions create distinct mineral species and formations.
