2007 MINERAL
SPECIMEN PRICE LIST
The following list of minerals contains those items currently in stock unless
denoted so. Those items indicated as (Not in Stock) are listed because
they often are encountered as raw inventory is processed.
Please inform me if you are interested in any of those items and I will place
you on a notification list when I find them.
My price list is
somewhat unusual
in that the difficult species in each specimen are electron microprobe
confirmed, marked and photographed
(and XRD confirmed when required).
In many cases this is first time that authenticated discrete grains of
some species have been offered. In
the area of rare minerals I feel that these specimens represent the highest
quality small grain materials offered.
PRICING
The
prices indicated are in U.S. dollars and are presented according to the format:
size/price.
DEALER DISCOUNTS
A
dealer discount of 15% is offered on most items. Volume
purchases of some items may qualify for a greater discount.
