The Living Fossil Gallery

Crystal & Fossil & Jewellery Gallery

• Mosman, Sydney, New South Wales

• Tom & Geoff Ross-Clift, Directors

About us
We are Sydney’s premier fossil and crystal gallery - sourcing world class crystals and fossils from Australia and around the world. We are distinguished by stocking the most unusual pieces, both large and small, directly from the source. We seek to educate and show-off the natural beauty of the planet and its past for kids and collectors alike, and therefore offer a broad range of crystals and fossils in our Mosman gallery. We also stock many pieces perfect for interior design elements, and offer expertise in both crystal and fossil for quality and type.

We offer to source our clients their dream crystals and fossils – rare or not. We will keep in real-time communication when sourcing, and this provides security and peace of mind, whilst also providing a wholesale rate for those pieces directly sourced for our clients. 
We also showcase jewellery designed and handmade by Living Fossil, and also take on commissioned jewellery work. We specialise in ammolite, mammoth ivory, and unusual natural stones and fossils for jewellery settings. Our jewellery range is known as unique, contemporary and beautiful. We also ship internationally with guaranteed safe delivery.

What drives us:
We absolutely love what we do. It is our passion and our livelihood. Living Fossil’s reputation is therefore built on our personal and professional service, our knowledge and expertise and our diverse and unusual range of high quality material. 

We aim to:

• Always to exceed our client’s expectations
• To excite, astonish and provide a “wow” experience at each visit 
• To showcase the natural wonder, history and beauty of the Nature’s creations to the public through our broad range of material
• To continuously source crystals, minerals and fossils for kids, collectors and interior design.
• To be Australia’s most recognised and crystal and fossil gallery.

Background and Founding: 

• Living Fossil is a family business run by Tom and Geoff Ross-Clift. Since early childhood, Tom’s interest in fossils and crystals was fostered by his parents, and led to the opening of The Living Fossil Gallery in 2005 in the beautiful suburb of Mosman.
• Tom has a broad range of national and international contacts and travels extensively to personally acquire material for the gallery. 

Pricing:

• As we source our material directly, we by-pass Australian wholesalers and offer prices that are unmatched by most retailers.
• For commission-sourced pieces, Tom is often away sourcing and always carries a wish list of fossils and crystals for his clients. We guarantee that any piece personally sourced for you will be inspected carefully and professionally. If it matches and exceeds our client’s expectations, then it will be secured for them.
  Fossil and Crystal Quality:
• Our range is carefully and personally selected both locally and internationally to ensure that we have the best qualities and the most unusual range. Whether it’s for a small ammonite for a child, or a wall hanging for home, each piece is vetted by us for quality and type.

Jewellery:

• Living Fossil designs and hand makes its own jewellery range. We specialise in silver creations and seek the most unusual material for settings – from rare ammolite and mammoth ivory to unusual and rare semi precious stones. We can also bring your ideas to life and give advice on settings for stones.
