How Minerals And Fossils Are Extracted And Marketed

By Joseph Stewart


The Atlas Mountains and outlying regions are great sources of some sought after stone, mineral and fossil materials. The country of Morocco has these as primary sources of income in terms of mined products or those extracted from the soil. The sediment rich and variable soils found in this country has made it a good source for all kinds of products of this kind.

Products in this line are all imported into many other countries, the starting point being on the airports or seaports that can accommodate the trade in the country. Moroccan minerals and fossils lead in this field for all the qualities that lead the market in terms of availability, access and product deliveries. The outfits that provide these will be very easily accessed, with internet sites or by phone.

Bestselling products are those with large market demand, things that include selenite, opals, malachite, and others. This is a long enough list, so we can round it out with things like coral, septaria, palm stones, shark teeth, thumbnails, apatite, petro quartz and trilobites. The sources in country are all rich and are virtually everywhere.

Consumers who want them for the US may get their things from in country commercial storage or distribution located in Arizona and California. These might be transported through the means of road transports. The access done through Morocco itself is one that may be had with air or sea transport, or any kind land system like trucks and trains.

The usual port of origin is the city of Casablanca FOB, and the government authorities in this country advise buyers against getting their stuff from unlicensed operators. While much of this stuff available are extracted and marketed by reliable companies, there are many independent small time operators who are taking advantage with the market. Thus, it might do well to check the legitimacy of any one company you are dealing with.

Most of these can also be available at sites where you can transact for or deal for having them shipped or transported FOB. There may be requirements that will include tax IDs and also accounts directly dealing with a site. Many types of packages and discounts can be had from these to make a better, more convenient deal.

The process of wholesaling them can be quite the thing here, although the items in this field are not made in too large volumes. A lot of these can be ordered by shops working in the jewelry trade. These are very useful stuff for this industry, useful for making accessories and other craft materials and this field needs new materials all of the time.

The newest stuff that can be found in these markets are coral, different kinds of shark teeth, gastropods, quartz, cobalt and more. There is need for more production of this type and there are many countries that help support the markets for these. A lot of companies are always testing out uses for these besides being good in jewelry or accessories.

Even so, they remain some of the most attractive items in use for wearable, fashionable and affordable jewelry. Most of the leading retail outlets feature these products in boutiques or fashion and accessories departments. While the industry is considered medium scale, the profits that are made make it a large scale one.
