"Explore the roads less travelled"

our founder

Meet Riaan

I am a semi-precious mineral dealer, miner and collector. My passion for crystals sparked when I traveled through the Goboboseb Mountains near Brandberg in Namibia, where I met small scale miners selling the most beautiful Amethyst I ever layed eyes on. From that day I started in the trade of buying and selling, slowly building my business to where I am now. A successful, registered company named Goboboseb Mineral Traders. My passion lies between collecting beautiful crystal specimens and traveling and exploring the roads less travelled.

Co-Founder & COO

Meet Silke

I have a huge love for the outdoors, this is where I am most happy. I grew up with adventure and camping in Namibia, having Riaan to share this passion with is amazing! We both have a fire within us to explore Africa since we can remember.

Being part of Stone Age Minerals has taught me so much about life and work, I couldn’t be more proud to be here with my husband, trying to make a change wherever we can. Our goal is to shine a light on small scale miners who are very deserving of just that. We are excited to explore Africa and prospect crystals wherever the roads take us.

More about

Stone Age Minerals

We are Riaan and Silke Fraser with our son Finnley. Co-owners of Stone Age Minerals Namibia. We started our Instagram page in 2016, traveling through our beautiful country (Namibia) in search of the most unique crystal specimens, we documented our travels and our great crystal finds, not long after our account grew to what we have now, over 28K crystal and travel lovers from across the world. Our Instagram page is the reason we have a successful business in mineral trading and have the freedom to explore and travel Africa.

Stone Age Minerals isn’t based on crystals only, with our page we hope to inspire people to get out and explore more, go camping, take the roads less traveled and enjoy what the outdoors has to offer, there is so much to see!
