Our Profile

The business that led to the company “Fine Art Minerals” – a globally renowned Minerals and Gemstones company – was started as an ordinary gemstones business by Mr. Ghulam Muhammad in the 1968s in Afghanistan. It seems that it was destined for us to be the pioneers of minerals specimen in the region, as Mr. Ghulam Muhammad was the first person whom Herb Obodda – the world’s famous collector – met on his visit to Afghanistan in the 1970s and told Mr. Ghulam Muhammad about minerals specimen. Since then Mr. Ghulam Muhammad started exploring these hidden treasures of fine mineral specimens and gemstones in Afghanistan. This expertise was passed on to his sons; Ghulam Qadir, Ghulam Mustafa and Ghulam Murtaza who have been passionate about gemstones and minerals since their childhood as it was in their blood and they transformed this business into this famous and reputable company – yes – the “Fine Art Minerals” and spread it beyond borders to Asia, Europe, America and Japan. Today Fine Art Minerals is in good books of the world’s top collectors and personalities associated with minerals and gemstones.
