Le Prospecteur – Canadian Gemstone
Authentic. Canadian. Exceptionally Rare.
Founded in 1998, Le Prospecteur Canadian Gemstone is proudly rooted in over two decades of hands-on experience in gemstone prospecting, mining, and mineral exploration across Canada. As a dedicated gemstone prospector, miner, mine owner, and mineralogist, I have committed my career to discovering, extracting, and showcasing the exceptional mineral wealth found within Canadian soil.
My work is driven by a deep respect for geology, ethical mining practices, and the preservation of Canada’s natural mineral heritage. Every gemstone is personally sourced, carefully evaluated, and responsibly mined, ensuring authenticity, traceability, and uncompromising quality.
Among my most significant discoveries is an extraordinary and exclusive gemstone: Golden Yellow Vesuvianite (variety: Solairite). This remarkable material was personally discovered, developed, and mined by me in Canada. Solairite is found nowhere else in the world, making it a truly rare and collectible Canadian gemstone. Its vibrant golden-yellow colour, brilliance, and scarcity distinguish it as a world-class specimen sought after by collectors, lapidaries, and fine jewellers.
Le Prospecteur is dedicated to offering rare, high-integrity Canadian gemstones directly from the source — from raw mineral specimens to precision-cut stones — each carrying a story of discovery, passion, and geological uniqueness.
