In the early 1990s, the Swiss-based Interprospekt Group was established, which today integrates various global initiatives in excavation, exhibition, education and trade related to natural history and geological rarities. Interprospekt Group employs specialists in the fields of mineralogy, gemmology and palaeontology and works side by side with scientists and museum curators from around the world.
SOURCING
Interprospekt’s global sourcing initiative for minerals and precious stones focuses its efforts on the excavation of colored stones. Aquamarine, morganite and tourmaline are extracted by partners in Brazil and Mozambique, also producing the highly sought after Paraiba tourmaline. In Uruguay, high quality semi-precious stones such as agate and amethyst are revealed.
​
All sourcing efforts are conducted under the principle of sustainability and ecological responsibility. We work closely with our partners to ensure safe and responsible working conditions and do whatever is necessary to maintain the natural balance of the environment.
TRADING
The broad structure of Interprospekt Group provides an extensive offering for the gem industry, collectors, and museums alike. Interprospekt is involved in the trade of all forms of natural history and geology; including fossils, dinosaurs, minerals and gemstones. Hand selected inventory is traded commercially during international events and retail locations in the U.S., Asia and throughout Europe.
​
Together with Granada Gallery, Interprospekt Group has established an exclusive sales entity, focused on the assemblage of one-of-a-kind treasures based on the world of natural history and design.
​
Additionally, Interprospekt AG aims to educate and promote higher knowledge through the leasing of single objects and whole exhibitions to museums and special venues world-wide.
Science
A passion for science and the drive to promote research has always been the foundation of Interprospekt, leading to the compilation of a comprehensive fossil collection and acquisition of numerous fossil dig sites.
​
On the basis of this extensive collection, paleontological research and the excavations being undertaken, The Wyoming Dinosaur Center opened its doors in 1996, followed by the Sino-German Paleontologically Museum in 2008. These two museums provide essential tools for continuous research, exhibitions, as well as hands-on experiences and educational programs.
​
Through the leasing of single objects or featured exhibitions, Interprospekt brings a wide range of scientific specimens to museums and special venues around the world.
​
These activities all greatly enhance Interprospekt’s ambition to promote higher knowledge and education sparked by curiosity.
