We are Cédric and Mathilde, founders of SZ-Minéraux, born from our shared passion for the earth’s wonders. From a young age, I, Cédric, was fascinated by fossils and minerals, spending hours exploring fields in search of hidden treasures. My studies in mechanical engineering and geosciences led me to create SZ-Minéraux, specializing in collection minerals and custom pedestals. However, in January 2024, we chose to focus solely on mineral sales to better meet our customers’ expectations.
Mathilde joined me in this adventure after a career in banking. Since 2020, she has worked full-time in our company, managing trade shows, online sales, and stand creation, bringing her expertise and passion for craftsmanship.
The birth of our son Trystan was a turning point, reinforcing our dedication to mineralogy. We have worked together from 2008, selling minerals from 2009 and evolving into an SARL from 2016, allowing us to create custom bases without glue or adhesives.
Since 2022, we have been honored to organize the International Mineral Expo Paris, a must-attend event for mineral, fossil, jewelry, and gem enthusiasts. Held annually on the first weekend of December at Espace Charenton, it has become a key event for collectors.
And since 2025, we have created a new show in Montbéliard featuring minerals, fossils, gems, jewelry, and meteorites. It will be held for the first time on September 27 and 28 at the Axone de Montbéliard.
In January 2024, we decided to focus entirely on mineral sales and organizing this exceptional event. This strategic choice reflects our commitment to offering the finest specimens and creating an unforgettable annual show. Our passion and dedication drive us to excel in both.
