Crafting Quality for Geological Discovery
At Precision Petrographics Ltd., we are dedicated to the craft of preparing the highest-quality thin sections for geological research, exploration, and academic study. Established in 2018 in Langley, BC, our lab was built with one purpose: to continuously raise the bar on the quality of thin sections and petrographic preparation.
We believe that quality should never be sacrificed for speed. Every section we produce is the result of a careful balance between precision machinery—custom designed and fabricated in partnership with aerospace machinists—and the sensitivity of the human hand. This unique combination allows us to achieve consistency, clarity, and polish at the very highest level.
Our clients include universities, government agencies, and exploration companies around the world. From Canada, the United States, and South America to Europe, Africa, Asia, and beyond, our reputation is built on trust, reliability, and attention to detail.
What sets us apart is not only the product we deliver, but also the relationships we build. We are committed to customer service, clear communication, and understanding each client’s unique needs. Whether for academic research, mineral exploration, or government analysis, Precision Petrographics is a partner invested in your success.
At Precision Petrographics, we bring minerals into your microscope with accuracy, care, and the dedication they deserve.

Kimberlite and more
British Columbia is a central hub for thin section preparation worldwide. This is no surprise, mineral products are Canada’s fifth largest export and British Columbia is perfectly located for international trade. Precision Petrographics is keenly aware of the rigorous standards set forth by its discerning client base. That is why we specialize in kimberlite thin sections and water sensitive samples.
With our designated dry preparation room, Precision is fully equipped to handle all your difficult samples.
Of course, we create petrographic slides for any project. If it is a mineral, Precision Petrographics is at your service.
