Already his great-grandfather August Leyser (to the right in the picture) and whose brother Otto Leyser had been achieving true pioneer work in Brazil since 1889 until 1922. Adventurous routes across "Minas Gerais" back then led into family-owned mines. That was the foundation stone for today's company. In 1920 production started in the own grindery at Idar. Here they pick from a large stock of raw stones and cut stones, offering coloured stones in all shapes, colours and qualities. |
