Welcome to PRONIK SPECIMENS!

PRONIK SPECIMENS, founded by Prodromos Nikolaidis, is a mineral dealership providing choice mineral specimens for your collection.

Head to the website’s Specimens section to browse the minerals—but please note that you might catch yourself exclaiming, “Wow! I really like this one, and I’d love to have it”. The good news is that doing so is easy—simply fill out the Contact form, indicate which one caught your eye, and once we connect, we can chat about how the specimen will make its way to you.

When a specimen is sold, a tag indicating so is added to the specimen’s main photo. Use the filter option if you want to see only available or only sold specimens. The reason for maintaining sold specimens on the website is for archival purposes. As any seasoned collector knows, a great part of a specimen’s value is inherently connected to the associated provenance information. And for PRONIK SPECIMENS, provenance is of paramount importance. Every specimen sold by PRONIK SPECIMENS is associated with a unique inventory number which can be used as a reference to trace your specimen. The easiest way to do this is to simply write the specimen number in the address bar of your browser in the Specimens section (for example, if your specimen number is 1, then the address bar should read: pronikspecimens.com/specimens/1). The specimen number can be found written on the accompanying label. Please note, though, that in some of the earliest labels, the specimen number was not included. You can always contact PRONIK SPECIMENS and we can work out together your specimen number — that’s even if you have acquired the specimen indirectly but you know that at some point the specimen was once in our repository. In any case, drop a line to discuss your specimen and you may find out one or two hidden Easter eggs!
