Exchanging minerals

I like to exchange minerals by mail on a no-commercial basis. All the listed minerals have been identified with care, if necessary by sophisticated techniques, such as X-ray diffractometry, scanning electron microscopy with EDX/WDX etc. Therefore, exchange material should also be identified very carefully, and the exact locality has to be known. I try to get specimens of minimum 3X3 cm, preferably 5X5 or 6X6 cm. I avoid micromounts, but for very rare species a micromount or thumbnail is welcome, of course.

When you make your choice from the listing, I will have to disappoint you in some cases : some specimens are too brittle to be mailed, others are so rare that I only exchange them for an equivalent specimen of a species that is not already represented in my collection. Due to rather intensive exchange activities, availability may change quickly. And unfortunately, I don't have always the time to update the list. Sorry for that. Some items are "one-of-a-kind", or "some-of-a-kind", others are available in (limited) quantity.


I prefer that one of the parties sends first. The other party sends exchange material only after evaluating the minerals he received. Every party pays for his own mailing cost, unless agreed otherwise. Collectors who don't have exchange material available can buy specimens upon request (except extremely rare specimens that I want to keep to obtain other rarities).
The exchange list that follows is a short version (only name and locality).
