CRAFTSMANSHIP AND TRADITION

Bild

THE CRYSTAL SEEKER

"Strahler" are called the crystal and mineral seekers, especially in Switzerland. These crystal seekers have been known since Roman times. Through exhibited finds, the Strahlers also contributed significantly to the understanding of the Alps and their geology!

THE PASSION

The passion gives the power. Those who search for crystals often must walk long distances, must open the rock with hammer and chisel before they can recover the beautiful minerals from the crevice. Passion is the driving force behind this achievement.
Bild

THE KNOWLEDGE

Passion alone is not enough. The crystal seeker must be able to read the rock. He must know the signs that indicate a crevice. This knowledge is often guarded by the crystal seeker like the secret to success.

THE TOOL

To search for and recover the crystals, the crystal seeker has developed special tools. The blasting stick, to remove larger boulders; the dimple, to carefully pry the material out of the crevice. The equipment also includes hammer and chisel, mountain pick, magnifying glass and, above all, good footwear.

THE CAREFULNESS

If you use your tools too greedily, it is not uncommon for you to break what you are looking for, the crystals, already in the cleft. Therefore, patience, much care and love for nature also belong to the craft of the crystal seeker.

THE CODE OF HONOR

The Code of Honor of the Swiss Association of crystal seeker, Mineral and Fossil Collectors (SVSMF) regulates the crystal seeking and obliges crystal seeker to behave correctly in nature. A crevice must be left clean after its exploitation. If a crevice is occupied by tools, other crystal seekers must keep their hands off it.
