At Formiga Loca, each stone tells a story, a journey, and a passion. We are not mere resellers; we are skilled artisans of selection, passionate individuals who travel throughout Mexico to offer you gems of unparalleled authenticity and quality.

✨ A Story of Passion and Discovery

Our adventure begins in the rich and captivating lands of Mexico, home to some of the world's most beautiful mineral treasures. Far from the industrial channels, we chose to go directly to the source: meeting the miners, understanding their expertise, and carefully selecting each stone.

🔹 Chiapas Amber → Renowned for its golden transparency and fascinating inclusions.
🔹 Queretaro Fire Opal → An explosion of natural colors, with fiery and vibrant reflections.
🔹 Obsidian → A powerful volcanic stone, precisely crafted by local artisans.

We don't just buy stones; we create a human connection with those who extract and craft them. Each piece has a provenance, a story, and ancestral know-how that deserves to be respected and showcased.
