The main dealer in South Africa is Clive Queit, he is located in Johannesburg and here you have their details:

Phone: +27114651095
Fax: +27114659212
email address: queit(dot)icon.co.za

The other well know dealer in Africa is Charlie Key, although as far as I know he don't have a selling store nor a local or a space where sell minerals. Also I have not his address or email, so I can't help you to meet him, maybe some visitor of this forum can help.

Charles Key is in Namibia and it is true that he does not have a shop. He is primarily a wholesaler to other dealers and does not sell directly to collectors, I believe.

Unsure if my reply is too late but in Cape Town there is a couple of shops as well as a few dealers, let me know if you want the info.

Thank you Debbie.

You're just in time, my trip was postponed to this next summer.
Not shure I will go to Cape Town and surronding coast, but that's a place I really liked to know.
I would like to have your info, you can send it to:

Thanks

Jorge

Hello Jorge. Please, could you tell us how did you like "Earth Stone Fire and Ice" (Clive Queit's shop) in Joburg? If you were there...
Thank you.
