Mineral Aesthetics, Everyday Functionality
Each of these mineral handles is carefully polished and paired with Laguiole en Aubrac’s signature features: forged stainless-steel worm, single-pivot lever, and hand-assembled components. These are not decorative items — they are working tools, made to perform with precision and to last a lifetime.
Every corkscrew is assembled and signed by a single artisan. While the materials speak of style, the construction speaks of tradition and quality. This combination makes mineral-handled corkscrews a rare find in the world of high-end wine accessories.

Larimar – The Sky Reflected in Stone
Rare and luminous, larimar is known for its bright sky-blue tones, veined with white or pale green ripples that evoke calm Caribbean waters. This stone — originally discovered in the Dominican Republic — is now reconstituted to provide consistent strength and aesthetic quality in Laguiole handles.
The result is a corkscrew that feels like summer in your hand: fresh, clear, and inspiring. It pairs perfectly with contemporary interiors, light woods, or minimalist tableware. For wine lovers who value serenity and clarity, larimar is a match made in stone.
Malachite – The Depth of Earth, The Pulse of Green
Reconstituted malachite is instantly recognizable by its layered green tones, ranging from forest to emerald, and patterned with swirling veins. In Laguiole corkscrews, this stone brings a sense of organic luxury: something that feels both grounded and rare.
The green palette harmonizes with brass or stainless steel bolsters, and feels at home in a wooden wine cellar or on a richly set table. Malachite evokes harmony, abundance, and tradition — making it a perfect gift for someone rooted in nature and elegance.
Turquoise – A Timeless Symbol of Protection
Long revered by ancient civilizations, turquoise is associated with protection, strength, and vitality. Reconstituted turquoise handles on Laguiole en Aubrac corkscrews capture the stone’s intense blue-green vibrancy, with naturally inspired black and white veining.
These models are bold yet refined — equally at ease in the hands of a collector or a first-time buyer who appreciates symbolic value. Turquoise makes every opening an occasion, adding a splash of energy and charisma to the ritual of wine.
Conclusion: Make a Statement Without Saying a Word
Choosing a mineral handle is choosing color, character, and contrast. It’s the art of combining nature’s beauty with human intention. Whether it’s the calm blue of larimar, the rich depth of malachite, or the vibrant charisma of turquoise, each corkscrew expresses something about the person who uses it — or the one who receives it as a gift.
Each material has been selected not just for its visual impact, but for how it enhances the whole object. These choices are deliberate — highlighting specific types of wood grain or metal detailing through contrast. At Laguiole en Aubrac, nothing is left to chance.
