MINERAL SPECIES in STOCK -- LIST 2019 This List Is an Alphabetical Listing of All Mineral Species in Stock at the Time of This Printing MINERALS UNLIMITED MINERAL SPECIES IN STOCK -- LIST 2019 This list is an alphabetical listing of all mineral species in stock at the time of this printing. Email or write if you need more information about any of the un-priced species. Items with an asterisk * are from the “Type” or original locality. WHAT HAS CHANGED: The 2.5cm (1”) size, as well as most other sizes shown in this list, is generally the size of the matrix, not necessarily the size of the species, with exceptions indicating (micro) with a matrix size given. Sizes with a dash (i.e. 2-3cm) indicates a range of sizes possible, and the best one will be selected from that range. If XL (or xl) is indicated, it may mean a crystal/crystal portion in the size indicated. There may be other size/price options available, ask if I haven’t listed what you want. Some species show more than one price: the higher price indicates another quality or possibly a different locality, not a larger size. Vial is 5/8-dram (about 1/2x1/2-inch area, but a smaller opening.) Where “up” follows a price, other quality specimens are available, please ask for more details. Some mineral groups have been cross-referenced, i.e., TOURMALINE, GARNET, QUARTZ, etc. For example, while the price for almandine will be found under GARNET, you will be directed to the GARNET section if you look up almandine—there you will find “Almandine—see GARNET.” Amphiboles, pyroxenes, micas, feldspars and such are listed only under their mineral names, i.e., ALBITE, BIOTITE, etc. Some equivalent names are indicated where the older name may be more familiar, i.e., Niccolite=NICKELINE. Most varietal names are followed by the species name in parentheses, i.e., MOONSTONE (Albite). SHIPPING COSTS ARE EXTRA. $10.00 minimum will probably cover up to ten specimens. More specimens = more shipping. I cannot estimate, as weight determines cost. I refund all extra you send, and bill for more if you under-estimate. California residents add 8.25% sales tax. TERMINOLOGY: A note about terms used in our lists. Xl or xl (crystal)= usually some or all of the terminal end is present. The termination may be good, or distorted, or etched, but is there. XL prism or prism= half or more of the sides of the crystal are present, without a terminal end. XL section= not enough of the form is present to call it a crystal or a prism, but some form is generally visible (but not always.) Chunk= no xl form, just a broken piece (also see “mass”). Mass or massive = no XL form, not even under magnification. Xline or xline mass= may show xline form, but not distinct xls or prisms. Xlized, Xline = shows crystallization, but not distinct or complete xls. ABBREVIATIONS USED in this list: (F) = fluorescent or fluorescence M/M or M/MP = micromount potential Ps. = pseudomorph (after) fic = fines in capsule xlized = crystallized SW = short wave ultra violet LW = long wave ultra violet var. or v. = variety (R) = radioactive mm = millimeter grp(s) = group(s) fiv = fines in vial incl. = inclusions cm = centimeter (Z) = Zeolite Group XL or xl = crystal or crystal section NAME SIZE PRICE PRICE PRICE $UP NAME SIZE PRICE PRICE PRICE $UP ACANTHITE (Argentite) 12mm $5.00 up ALLUAUDITE 2.5cm $4.00 ACANTHITE (Argentite) 6mm $4.00 $3.00 Almandine see GARNET ACTINOLITE 2.5cm $3.00 ALTAITE (plentiful) 1cm $9.00 ADAMITE 2.5cm $5.00 $3.00 ALTAITE (moderately lean) 2.5cm $9.00 ADAMITE (F) 2.5cm $3.00 ALTAITE (lean to sparse) 2.5cm $5.00 AEGIRINE 2.5cm $5.00 $3.00 ALTHAUSITE* 2.5cm $26.00 AENIGMATITE 1-1.5cm $9.00 ALUMINITE (F) 2.5cm $5.00 AERINITE 1-2cm $5.00 ALUMOHYDROCALCITE 1cm $7.00 AESCHYNITE-(Y) (R) 2.5cm $7.00 ALUNITE 2.5cm $3.00 AFGHANITE 2.5cm $48.00 ALUNOGEN 2cm $9.00 AFWILLITE ask ALUNOGEN 12mm $7.00 AGARDITE-(Ce) 1cm $5.00 ALUNOGEN vial $7.00 AGARDITE-(La) ask ALURGITE (Muscovite) vial $6.00 AGARDITE-(Y) 1cm $22.00 ALVITE (Zircon) 1-2cm $5.00 Agate see QUARTZ AMARANTITE* 2.5cm $17.00 AGRELLITE* (F) 2cm $14.00 AMARANTITE 12mm $15.00 AJOITE* 2.5cm $6.00 AMARANTITE fic $9.00 AKAGANEITE fic $7.00 AMAZONITE (Microcline) 2.5cm $4.00 AKAGANEITE 1cm $6.00 AMBER - Baltic amber 12mm $3.00 ALABANDITE 2.5cm $9.00 AMBER - Kauri amber 15mm $5.00 Alabaster see GYPSUM AMBER with tiny insect inclusion ask ALBERTITE (Hydrocarbon) 2.5cm $4.00 AMBLYGONITE 2.5cm $3.00 ALBITE 2.5cm $5.00 $4.00 $3.00 AMBLYGONITE (pink) 2cm $3.00 ALDERMANITE ask Amethyst see QUARTZ ALEXANDRITE (Chrysoberyl) 4mm $7.00 ANALCIME (Z) 2.5cm $5.00 $3.00 ALGODONITE 2.5cm $7.00 ANANDITE 2.5cm $14.00 ALLANITE-(Ce) 2.5cm $9.00 $5.00 $3.00 ANAPAITE 1.5cm $5.00 ALLANITE-(Y) 2.5cm $26.00 $5.00 ANATASE 2.5cm $5.00 ALLEGHANYITE* 2.5cm $14.00 ANATASE xl piece 1mm $3.00 ALLEGHANYITE 2.5cm $9.00 ANCYLITE-(Ce) 2cm $7.00 ALLOPHANE 2.5cm $4.00 $3.00 ANCYLITE-(Ce) xl group 1mm $7.00 NAME SIZE PRICE PRICE PRICE $UP NAME SIZE PRICE PRICE PRICE $UP ANDALUSITE 2.5cm $4.00 $3.00 ARGENTOJAROSITE 1.5cm $9.00 ANDERSONITE (R) (F) 2.5cm $6.00 ARMENITE ask ANDESINE 2.5cm $3.00 ARMSTRONGITE* fic $26.00 ANDESINE 2cm $3.00 ARROJADITE* 2.5cm $7.00 ANDESINE xl group 8mm $3.00 ARSENIC 2.5cm $5.00 $5.00 $3.00 ANDORITE xl 1mm $48.00 ARSENIC xl group 8mm $9.00 Andradite see GARNET ARSENOLITE 2.5cm $9.00 ANGLESITE 2.5cm $3.00 ARSENOLITE 2cm $8.00 ANGLESITE xl 1cm $9.00 ARSENOPYRITE 2.5cm $3.00 ANHYDRITE 2.5cm $3.00 ARTHURITE 2.5cm $9.00 $7.00 ANKERITE 2.5cm $5.00 ARTINITE 2.5cm $3.00 ANNABERGITE 2.5cm $4.00 ASBOLANE 2.5cm $9.00 ANORTHITE 2.5cm $3.00 ASBOLANE 2cm $7.00 ANORTHITE xl 2cm $7.00 up ASPHALTUM (Hydrocarbon) 2.5cm $5.00 ANORTHOCLASE 2.5cm $5.00 ASTROPHYLLITE 2.5cm $5.00 ANTHOPHYLLITE 2.5cm $4.00 ATACAMITE ask Anthraconite see CALCITE AUBERTITE 3.5cm $90.00 ANTHRAXOLITE (Hydrocarbon) 2.5cm $5.00 AUGELITE 2.5cm $7.00 Antigorite see SERPENTINE AUGITE 2.5cm $3.00 ANTIMONPEARCEITE 2.5cm $32.00 AUGITE xl 8mm $5.00 ANTIMONPEARCEITE 1.5cm $26.00 AURICHALCITE 2.5cm $3.00 ANTIMONPEARCEITE 1cm $20.00 AURICUPRIDE* (micro) 1.5cm $50.00 ANTIMONY 2.5cm $7.00 $5.00 AURORITE* 2.5cm $7.00 ANTIMONY 2cm $5.00 AUSTINITE* 2.5cm $5.00 ANTIMONY 12mm $3.00 AUTUNITE (R) (F) 2.5cm $4.00 ANTLERITE 2.5cm $5.00 AUTUNITE* (R) (F) 2.5cm $5.00 APACHITE* 2.5cm $30.00 Autunite also see METAAUTUNITE Aventurine see QUARTZ APATITE GROUP AWARUITE=Josephinite (nickel/iron 12mm $15.00 1) Carbonate-fluorapatite 2.5cm $9.00 AWARUITE=Josephinite (nickel/iron 8mm $9.00 2) Carbonate-hydroxylapatite ask AWARUITE=Josephinite (nickel/iron 6mm $7.00 var.

  • Mineral Classifications-No Links
    CLASSIFYING MINERALS Minerals are divided into nine (9) broad classifications. They are typically classified based on the negatively charged (anionic) portion of their chemical composition. For example, copper oxide (CuO) consists of copper (Cu ++ ) and oxygen (O -- ) ions, and the negatively charged oxygen ion puts it in the “Oxide” classification (which also includes iron oxide, titanium dioxide, etc). The classifications are: Silicate class The largest group of minerals by far, the silicates are mostly composed of silicon and oxygen, combined with ions like aluminum, magnesium, iron, and calcium. Some important rock-forming silicates include the feldspars, quartz, olivines, pyroxenes, garnets, and micas. Carbonate class 2− The carbonate minerals contain the anion (CO 3) . They are deposited in marine settings from accumulated shells of marine life and also in evaporitic areas like the Great Salt Lake and karst regions where they form caves, stalactites and stalagmites. Typical carbonates include calcite and aragonite (both calcium carbonate), dolomite (magnesium/calcium carbonate) and siderite (iron carbonate). The carbonate class also includes the nitrate and borate minerals. Sulfate class 2− Sulfate minerals all contain the sulfate anion, SO 4 . Sulfates commonly form in evaporitic settings where highly saline waters slowly evaporate, in hydrothermal vein systems as gangue minerals and as secondary oxidation products of original sulfide minerals. Common sulfates include anhydrite (calcium sulfate), celestine (strontium sulfate), barite (barium sulfate), and gypsum (hydrated calcium sulfate). The sulfate class also includes the chromate, molybdate, selenate, sulfite, tellurate, and tungstate minerals. Halide class The halide minerals form the natural salts and include fluorite (calcium fluoride), halite (sodium chloride) and sylvite (potassium chloride).

  • The Regional Distribution of Zeolites in the Basalts of the Faroe Islands and the Significance of Zeolites As Palaeo- Temperature Indicators
    The regional distribution of zeolites in the basalts of the Faroe Islands and the significance of zeolites as palaeo- temperature indicators Ole Jørgensen The first maps of the regional distribution of zeolites in the Palaeogene basalt plateau of the Faroe Islands are presented. The zeolite zones (thomsonite-chabazite, analcite, mesolite, stilbite-heulandite, laumontite) continue below sea level and reach a depth of 2200 m in the Lopra-1/1A well. Below this level, a high temperature zone occurs characterised by prehnite and pumpellyite. The stilbite-heulan- dite zone is the dominant mineral zone on the northern island, Vágar, the analcite and mesolite zones are the dominant ones on the southern islands of Sandoy and Suðuroy and the thomsonite-chabazite zone is dominant on the two northeastern islands of Viðoy and Borðoy. It is estimated that zeolitisa- tion of the basalts took place at temperatures between about 40°C and 230°C. Palaeogeothermal gradients are estimated to have been 66 ± 9°C/km in the lower basalt formation of the Lopra area of Suðuroy, the southernmost island, 63 ± 8°C/km in the middle basalt formation on the northernmost island of Vágar and 56 ± 7°C/km in the upper basalt formation on the central island of Sandoy. A linear extrapolation of the gradient from the Lopra area places the palaeosurface of the basalt plateau near to the top of the lower basalt formation. On Vágar, the palaeosurface was somewhere between 1700 m and 2020 m above the lower formation while the palaeosurface on Sandoy was between 1550 m and 1924 m above the base of the upper formation.

Modern mineralogy of gold: overview and new data Minéralogie moderne de l’or : bilan et nouvelles données Ernst Spiridonov* and Denka Yanakieva** Abstract: We suppose that it should be useful for archaeologists to have an overview on gold mineralogy, because 1) in ancient times, part of the golden objects were made directly from natural golden nuggets; 2) most of the Au in ores exists as its own minerals. he major part of the Au in the planets and meteorites of our Solar system is found in high temperature solid solutions: metallic Fe-Ni and monosulides Fe-Ni and Fe-Cu. Au leaves them under luid or some other reworking. As a result, Au minerals are formed. hey are mainly developed in hydrothermal deposits of the upper part of Earth’s continental crust.

  • Minerals of the Hydrotalcite Group in Metasomatically Altered Carbonate Rocks from Zawiercie, S Poland
    MINERALOGIA POLONICA Vol. 32, No 1, 2001 PL ISSSN 0032-6267 Ewa KOSZOWSKA1, Dorota SAŁATA1 MINERALS OF THE HYDROTALCITE GROUP IN METASOMATICALLY ALTERED CARBONATE ROCKS FROM ZAWIERCIE, S POLAND A b s t a c t . Minerals of the hydrotalcite-manasseite group were identified in samples from two borehols in Zawiercie (ZMZ-9, RK-1). The minerals were found in calciphire bodies (RK-1) and in one small, metasomatic veinlet (ZMZ-9) formed in Middle Devonian dolomites. Alteration of dolomitic sediments was genetically connected with infiltration fluids that caused formation of a gamet-pyroxene skam. Inves­ tigations have revealed the presence of both hydrotalcite and manasseite. Besides, in few places of the veinlet there occurs a mineral, which has been recognized as iowaite. Key-words: hydrotalcite-manasseite group, calciphires, ska ms, metasomatic veins, Zawiercie, S Poland INTRODUCTION The hydrotalcite group minerals belong to a large group of natural and synthetic dihydroxides named also as "layered double hydroxides" or "anionic clays". Their general formula can be written as: M |2XM (0 H)2 (Am“)x/mn H 2 0 (where M+2, M +3 are cations in the hydroxide layers and Am_ is the interlayer anion) and is based on positively charged brucite-like layers with C 03-like anions and water molecules in interlayer positions (Drits et al. 1987) (Fig. la). Within the group, depending on the composition of the octahedral brucite-type cationic layers, three subgroups can be distinguished in which the cations are: a) M g +2 + Al+3, b) Mg +2 + Fe+3 , c) M g + 2 + C r+3.

  • Minerals of the Eudialyte Group from the Sagasen Larvikite Quarry, Porsgrunn, Norway
    = Minerals of the eudialyte group from the Sagasen larvikite quarry, Porsgrunn, Norway Alf Olav Larsen, Arne Asheim and Robert A. Gault Introduction Eudialyte, aNa-rich zirconosilicate with varying amounts of Ca, Fe, Mn, REE, Nb, K, Y, Ti, CI and F, was first described from the llimaussaq alkaline complex, South Greenland by Stromeyer (1819), Since then, the mineral has been described from many other alkaline deposits, and is a characteristic mineral in agpaitic nepheline syenites and their associated pegmatites. In recent years, eudialyte (sensa lata) has been the subject of extensive studies. The broad compositional variations and new insight into the crystal chemistry of the mineral group resulted in the definition of several new species by the Eudialyte Nomenclature Subcommittee under the Commission on New Minerals and Mineral Names of the International Mineralogical Association (Johnsen et al. 2003b). Brown eudialyte (s. I.) is a common constituent of the agpaitic pegmatites in the Langesundsfjord district in the western part of the Larvik plutonic complex (Br0gger 1890). Recent chemical analyses of the mineral have shown that some localities contain ferrokentbrooksite (Johnsen et al. 2003a). Other localities hold eudialyte (sensa stricto). Ferrokentbrooksite is the ferrous-iron-dominant analogue of kentbrooksite with Fe as the predominant element replacing Mn. Kentbrooksite is the Mn-REE-Nb-F end member in a solid solution series between eudialyte (s. s.) and ferrokentbrooksite, with an extension to oneillite (Johnsen et al. 1998, Johnsen et al. 1999, Johnsen et al. 2003a), as well as to carbokentbrooksite and zirsilite-(Ce) (Khomyakov et al. 2003). Carbokentbrooksite has a significant content of carbonate and Na > REE for the N4 site, while zirsilite-(Ce) has REE > Na (with Ce predominant) for the N4 site.
