Collectors by Passion,
Curators by Art

P&L Art and Crystals began as a personal obsession with the planet's most extraordinary geological formations. Founded in Singapore, we have spent eight years travelling to source sites in Brazil, Madagascar, Morocco, Bolivia, and beyond.

We do not simply sell stones. We present verified specimens with documented provenance, each selected for exceptional quality, rarity, and aesthetic character. Where certification is required, we offer internationally recognised assessment through minID — the certification service and laboratory formed by TCGL in partnership with mindat.org.

Our Principles

The Standard Behind
Every Piece

Authenticated Provenance

Every specimen comes with documented source information including, wherever possible, mine of origin, date of extraction, and chain of custody.

Gemological Assessment

Every specimen is personally evaluated by our experts before sale. Where certification is required, we offer internationally recognised documentation through minID — the certification service formed by TCGL in partnership with mindat.org, led by Dr Franco Lui and Dr Anne Huang.

Collector-to-Collector Curation

We are collectors first. Every piece in our inventory has been selected with quality first in mind. Whether they are mass-market or one-of-a-kind specimens, we choose them because we want them in our own collection.

White-Glove Delivery

Each specimen is packed with care tailored to its individual needs, and delivered safely across Singapore and internationally. We treat every piece with the reverence it deserves.

Notes from the Gallery

Short reads on how specimens form, where they come from, and what to look for as a collector.

Faceted blue tanzanite crystal
Tanzanite · Zoisite · Buyer’s Guide
Tanzanite — Three Colours from One Hill

Every tanzanite on Earth comes from a single hillside in Tanzania — and inside each crystal are three different colours at once, depending on the angle you look through.

Heated citrine (amethyst) specimen
Citrine · Quartz · Buyer’s Guide
Why Most “Citrine” Was Once Amethyst

The golden quartz hides a quiet disagreement between mineralogists and the gem trade — and knowing which “citrine” you’re holding changes what you’ve actually bought.

The Trapiche Emerald — A Wheel Inside the Stone

A rare Colombian emerald grows a six-spoked wheel of dark carbon inside the green — a pattern that records the exact moment its own growth was interrupted.

How an Amethyst Geode Forms

The giant violet cathedrals begin as nothing at all — an empty pocket swelling inside altered volcanic rock, then filled drop by drop. The leading explanation is stranger than the textbook one.

Selected Commissions

Notable Works

Some pieces are not bought from the gallery — they are commissioned. Two recent works:

Private Bungalow · Singapore

Four Quartz Pillars

"All four pillars had to be cut from a single rock."

For feng shui, the four corners of an investment bank director's home needed to share one geological origin. We spent six months finding a quartz mass large enough to yield four two-metre pillars, then oversaw the cutting, shipping, customs clearance, and final installation by crane. One year, beginning to end — delivered under budget.

Restaurant Frontage · Singapore

Cathedral Quartz
Display Piece

"What happens when a crystal lives in public? We answered that before sourcing a single stone."

A restaurant wanted a statement piece for its frontage. We redefined the brief around real life: unmistakably a crystal from across the street, safe for a child's hands — every edge inspected and ground smooth — and simple enough for staff to clean without specialist tools. The answer was a two-metre cathedral quartz from Madagascar, installed within two months.

Our Services

Certification & Sourcing

Gemological Certification — in partnership with minID

minID Laboratory

We arrange internationally recognised gemological certification through our exclusive partner, minID (敏德礦研) — the certification service and laboratory formed by TCGL in partnership with mindat.org, led by Dr Franco Lui and Dr Anne Huang. Two levels — Standard and Advanced, the latter with direct laboratory verification — each producing a permanent, independently verifiable record.

Specimen Mounting — printed in-house

Display Bases,
Made to Fit

Every fine specimen deserves to stand properly. We design and 3D-print display bases around a moulded centre that cradles your piece precisely, contained within a clean, standardised form. The service is available for any specimen — including pieces acquired elsewhere. Bases are printed in matte black as standard; other colours are available for a small additional fee, and custom alterations to the standard design can be discussed.

Your Piece Stays in Singapore

True custom acrylic mounting barely exists locally — specimens are typically shipped overseas and back, at several times the cost and with every risk that journey carries. Your piece never leaves our care.

Moulded, Not Fitted

The base is grown around your specimen's exact form. Edges print rounded and the cavity matches the piece — no sharp corners, no pressure points, no forcing a crystal into an approximate shape.

Designed With You

Because everything happens in-house, we advise on the most flattering way to present the piece — and you shape the outcome with us. Fabricators unfamiliar with minerals cannot offer either.

Reprintable

If a base is lost or damaged, we can print it again from your design file at a discounted rate. Files are retained for three months from completion.

Send a Photo

Share a general photo of your specimen with us via WhatsApp or any of our social media channels.

Visit & Discuss

We arrange a date for you to bring the piece to the gallery, where we assess it together and agree on the design in person.

Leave It With Us

Your specimen remains in our care while the base is designed and printed — generally one to two weeks, depending on size.

Collect & Pay

Payment is made on completion, when you collect your mounted specimen. The agreed design is final once printing begins.

A note on suitability: specimens that are very narrow or steeply angled may not seat well in a printed base. We will tell you honestly at the assessment stage if your piece is not a good candidate.

Frequently Asked Questions

Common Questions

Our gallery is located at 400 Orchard Road, #01-22, Orchard Towers — near the izakaya at the road crossing. You are welcome to visit during our opening hours (Wednesday–Friday 1pm–8pm, Saturday–Sunday 12pm–6pm). To arrange a visit or enquire about a private viewing, please reach us on WhatsApp at +65 9833 3269.

An appointment is not required, but we recommend reaching out before your visit. We occasionally close early when fulfilling deliveries or exhibiting at overseas shows, and a quick WhatsApp message ahead of your trip ensures you are not met with a closed door.

P&L is run by collectors, for collectors. Every specimen in our gallery has been hand-selected because we would want it in our own collection — we do not carry wholesale fillers or mass-market pieces. Our specimens come with authenticated provenance and documented source information wherever possible, and we offer internationally recognised gemological certification through our exclusive partnership with minID, the certification service formed by TCGL in partnership with mindat.org. With over eight years of sourcing across more than 40 countries, and experience completing large-scale bespoke projects, we aim to be the most trusted address for serious collectors in Singapore.

Every specimen in our collection has been carefully curated to ensure it is natural and untreated. Any repairs or treatments are fully disclosed before purchase. For added assurance, we offer refunds on pieces that are certified as otherwise by our designated gemological partners.

Our gallery holds many more specimens than those listed on this website, and we maintain additional stock in Munich and Nanjing. If you are looking for something specific, please reach out via WhatsApp at +65 9833 3269 and we will do our best to assist. Custom sourcing orders are also available for budgets of SGD 1,000 and above, subject to prepayment.

Yes. We ship worldwide via DHL Express, ensuring reliable, speedy, and safe delivery. For larger consignments exceeding 40 kg, we work with dedicated freight forwarders to handle the logistics from door to door.

Gemological certification provides an independent, documented assessment of your specimen — confirming its identity, origin details, and authenticity. It gives collectors genuine peace of mind, and is particularly important for pieces whose provenance is uncertain or unknown. A certified specimen is also significantly easier to resell, insure, or pass on as part of a collection.

Level 2 certification builds upon Level 1 by adding direct laboratory verification for each individual piece. Unlike many local testing facilities, minID employs analytical equipment typically found only in university and research laboratories — providing a level of scientific rigour that is exceptionally rare in the region, and carrying corresponding weight with discerning collectors and institutions.

Yes. Certification through minID is available for any specimen, regardless of where it was purchased. Simply reach out to us via WhatsApp at +65 9833 3269 to arrange an assessment.

Certification requires a minimum of one month, primarily due to international shipping times to and from the laboratory. Specimens that are more complex or require additional testing may take longer. We will keep you informed throughout the process.

We generally recommend worked pieces — polished or carved specimens — for their ease of maintenance and affordability. Common choices include Amethyst, Pyrite, and Citrine for wealth and abundance; Rose Quartz for relationships and harmony; and Black Tourmaline for protection. The right choice is highly personal, and we are always happy to advise in person.

Yes — we provide in-person consultation to our clients on crystal selection and placement. Our bespoke projects, including the four quartz pillars commissioned for a private bungalow and the cathedral quartz display piece for a restaurant frontage, are examples of how far that guidance can extend.

Yes. With a broad network spanning crystal suppliers in Brazil, manufacturing and fabrication partners in China, and restoration and repair specialists in Europe, we are able to offer a full spectrum of services for projects of any scale — from a single statement piece to multi-point installations.

Bespoke projects require a minimum of one month due to international shipping times. Projects involving custom-fabricated or specially sourced pieces may take considerably longer depending on their complexity and the availability of suitable materials.
