The creamy white disc with the typical spiral pattern is mistakenly referred to in the trade as a nautilus snake or Shiva shell. In fact, it is the lid with which the turban snail can close its shell in case of danger, the so-called operculum. This is also known as the Shiva eye and represents knowledge and wisdom. In the Mediterranean region, it is also known as the Eye of Lucia or Sea Eye.
Hello! My name is Marco Schreier, I am the stone-loving founder of the Mineralienhandlung GmbH of the same name. My career in the field of gemstones, precious stones, pearls and designer jewelry only began relatively late.
Originally, my attention was focused on collector's minerals, then on polished stone products such as tumbled stones, etc. Later, drilled stones were added, which, worn on a leather strap, were the first jewelry we offered. With the establishment of our office in Bali, Indonesia in 2001 and shortly afterwards our office and company in Hong Kong, I created the basis for integrating many of my favorites such as special crystals, specially cut, rare gemstones, free-form cabochons, beads and pearls into my own jewelry.
