We’re excited to welcome a new addition to Obscura: a curated collection of natural rocks, minerals, and crystals, now available in-store at our Ballarat location.
Every piece has been carefully selected for its story, colour & texture. From collectors & geology lovers to creatives & curious minds, there’s something here to explore.
🪨 What You'll Find
Our ever-evolving range includes genuine specimens from around the world:
-
Rhodochrosite – Sweet Home Mine, Colorado
-
Fluorite – vibrant bi & tri-coloured varieties from Namibia
-
Aquamarine on Muscovite – from the Shigar Valley, Pakistan
-
Plus unique finds from across Australia and beyond
No two pieces are the same & for local Ballarat mineral collectors, it’s a rare chance to find something a little different, right here in town.
Why Minerals in a Camera Shop?
Photography, like geology, is about time & transformation. Just as film captures fleeting moments, minerals preserve ancient ones. Our space has always been about stories, now we’re telling a few more (plus Dave LOVES Rocks, Crytals & Minerals & has completed a Geology Degree).
Visit Us
You'll find us inside a repurposed WWII explosives factory, a space just as unique as what we stock. We’ve built a simple, considered display that lets the stones speak for themselves. No over-branding. No fluorescent lighting. Just the raw, natural aesthetic we’re known for.
