Family-owned since 1961, Astro Gallery of Gems grew from Julio Tanjeloff’s belief that exceptional mineral specimens belong in both homes and collections. Its Fifth Avenue gallery in New York became a gathering place for collectors, designers, museums and people encountering gems, minerals and natural-history objects for the first time. Astro’s practice blends collecting, education, curation and natural history: each piece is chosen for color, formation, texture and visual presence so it can function as both an object of study and a focal point in a room. The gallery emphasizes provenance and the lived qualities of specimens—compare listed dimensions, origin details and natural variations to find what keeps your attention.
Shop fine minerals, gems, fossils, crystals, natural-history objects and rare jewelry, from approachable specimens for new buyers to large collector pieces for advanced collections. Browse the Minerals & Collectibles assortment alongside related collections—Artist Brands, Crystals, Minerals & Specimens—to find display specimens, display pieces and wearable rarities that suit a collector or a designer’s installation. Presented here at Resin Society, Astro’s selections are described with origin and dimension so you can choose specimens by size, formation or visual effect and bring natural history into view.
