Crystal Hunting With Julbo Sunglasses

Crystal Hunting With Julbo Sunglasses

To the outside world, you’re just an average, garden-variety human being. You go to work, come home, procrastinate paying bills, watch bad reality TV and go to bed. But little do your coworkers know that in your spare time you are a crystal hunter.

A crystal hunter is a particular breed of adventurer who explores mountain caves in search of crystals for pleasure or profit. As such, you need a pair of tough-as-nails sunglasses that can withstand the harsh environment. For that, there’s no better brand than Julbo.

Born Out Of Necessity

Julbo got its start in 1888 when one Jules Baud created a specialized pair of sunglasses to protect the eyes of those hunting crystals in the mountainous French commune of Chamonix (now a popular ski resort). Let their triumphs inspire you as you ascend into the Alps wearing the brand’s signature glasses that act as a shield from the high altitude sunlight.

Claim The Mountain

Though Julbo was founded in the late 19th century, the history of crystal hunting goes back at least 100 years prior. On a summer day in 1786, crystal hunter Jacques Balmat became the first to climb Mont Blanc (the highest summit in the Alps). Balmat may have been the first, but he has nothing on you—because you’ve got a pair of Julbo wraparound shades that offer virtually bullet-proof protection as you search far and wide for those precious stones.

Treasures From The Earth

This may go without saying, but crystal hunting is no joke. After a grueling search for a dark mountain cave, hunters then set to work prying the crystals free without the use of dynamite (a crystal hunting no-no). It’s a test of will and endurance, but with a pickaxe in your hand and sleek Julbo shades on, those babies are as good as yours.

Julbo sunglasses are perfect for the “average” somebody by day and crystal hunter by night—well, maybe not at night, but you get what we mean.

With these sunglasses, nothing stands between you and those crystals.
