Steinbichler: Minerals, Jewelry, Scents & Sound

In 1992, we opened a small gift shop in the centre of Linz. Our idea was to sell gifts made from natural materials such as wood, stone, glass, wax, etc.

We make sure that the stones we sell are genuine and have not been altered in colour. Nature offers a wonderful selection of colours and shapes and it does not seem necessary to us to dye agates green, blue, pink or to produce synthetic stones and sell them as "real".

Therefore you will not find dyed or synthetic stones [gold river, blue river, green river (glass), moon opal or moon opalite (plastic), turquenite or turkenite (dyed magnesite pretending to be turquoise) etc.].

Reconstructed stones (stone powder produced during processing or ground from poorly coloured stones, stirred into plastic and pressed into shape) also have no place in our range.
