A Passion for Minerals

Montana Crystal Miner is the namesake of Paul Senn, a passionate collector and miner. I offer both artisanal mined and thoughtfully sourced minerals from Montana and the rest of the world.

My journey in minerals started at a young age, with agates, fossils, and a general interest in geology. Upon digging my first crystals in Montana at Crystal Park, the deep roots took hold. Now, I work as a full time professional miner in Montana, managing the world famous Little Gem Mine, and developing other operations within the Treasure State.

Geology and minerals are a passion for me, with the science and history being a driver. Studying each pocket I mine to better understand the genesis of nature’s art, is what I love. The gift of being the first to hold, witness, and gaze upon each specimen that is mined is an honor in life as well.

In 2017 I took the leap into mining and minerals as more than just a hobby, and have dug my way to where I am today, much with the support and guidance of those who share this passion, and believe in me.
