Minerals from Honduras
This tag collects together all the current minerals we have in stock that come from Honduras.
Below the product listings, I’ve gone into a little depth about mineral specimens from Honduras – famous locales and specimens, and those that are most well known amongst collectors.
Mining contributes less than 1% of Honduras GDP
As of 2022, Honduras has banned open pit mining.
For mineral collectors, probably the best known specimen from Honduras is, in fact, not a mineral but a mineraloid. The volcanic black Opal from Honduras is rather well known both as specimens and sometimes cut for jewellery usage too.
Most of this opal is part of a dark black matrix with pin pricks of coloured fire.
For other specimens from Honduras, including fossils and meteorites, see the links below.
