Capistrano Mining Company

Specializing in Benitoite & Montana Missouri River Sapphire.
In addition to other American Mined Gemstones & Mineral Specimens,
I carry a selection of unique mineral specimens from around the world.

My website is always kept up to date.
All items are available for purchase unless marked "On Hold" or "Sold".

Every Gemstone I sell is 100% natural and untreated,
(with the exception of most cut Red Beryl).

That is my Lifetime Guarantee, (see FAQ page for details).

Capistrano Mining Company is an online store. I do not have a traditional brick and mortar store. I sell through this website, other online sites and auctions, as well as selling at gem and mineral shows in California and Arizona. I do mine and rockhound to bring new great items for sale, but do not have any place for the public to mine. However if you would like to find places to actually dig for your own gems and minerals while in California or Montana, please look at my "Links" page or send me an email.

I carry benitoite, sapphire, sunstone and tourmaline specimens from famous American locales. Although our primary focus is on minerals from the United States, we do also carry some mineral specimens, gemstone rough and cut stones from around the world. We have beautiful loose faceted gemstones ready to be set in jewelry. Over 95% of our Benitoite and Montana Sapphire, are self collected specimens and facet rough. For that hard to buy for rockhound in your life, we have many unique mineral related gifts for sale on our Mining Theme Gifts page. Our ever expanding Kids Corner has many great items for young rockhounds.

Only about 10% of what we have in stock is listed on this website. If you do not see what you are looking for, please send us an email. You can also check out our auctions on Ebay , Our ID. is capistranomining.
