Mineral Videography

Professional mineral videography is the next evolution of mineral display and advertising. It is an art form that enables collectors and dealers to elevate their brand by displaying specimens in the highest level of detail possible. All of our videography is shot in 4K resolution using professional studio lighting and equipment. This is not a simple light-box studio, professional lighting makes all the difference with videography. See below for a few samples of our work.

Pricing: our professional videography service starts at $300 per video, with discounts available for bulk quantities. Please message us for our current offerings.

Tucson Mineral Show Special Package: Five videos for $1,000 ($200 each) during the Tucson show. I’ll be set up for videography approximately 10 minutes away from the popular show venues from 31 January through the end of the shows.

Availability and Rush Charges: Standard turnaround for all finished work to be completed and returned to client is three weeks. If specimens are mailed to Cross Mineral Studios, turnaround for returning the specimens in the mail is two weeks. Rush charges are as follows:
