“Mt. St. Hilaire - without the crowds, without the magnifying glass.”

Over 200 minerals have been identified from this unique complex - over 15 of them only found here. Ilimaussaq is the type locality for many alkaline minerals and the variety is amazing! Even more amazing is the yet to be discovered variety of fluorescent rocks and minerals. Greenland is essentially “virgin territory” for collecting fluorescent rocks and minerals.  We have our choice of camping in the mountains, staying in hotels, travel by boat, car, and hiking.  Fluorescent mineral collecting is the primary focus but any rock collector interested in this rare and unique mineralogy should consider our Greenland Geology Adventure Tour - a trip of a lifetime.

Greenland Tours are scheduled each summer. Contact sales@minershop.com for current schedule.
