The Makki legacy

1978

A life among minerals.
A connection across generations.

Pune, India · An international outlook

Some collections begin
with a specimen.
Ours began with a passion.

In the mineral business since 1978, Matrix India brings the experience of M. F. Makki and Sami Makki to every conversation with a collector.

From Indian mineral localities to international exhibitions, our work centres on the individual piece: its crystal form, its associations, and what makes you stop and look again.
