Dear mineral collector,

This is my first mineral catalogue of 2010. It includes the new IMA-approved minerals Arisite-(Ce), Ellingsenite, Fluorbritholite-(Y) and Oxyphlogopite; and as ever it contains a range of extremely rare minerals, such as Angastonite, Bauranoite, Danbaite, Hotsonite, Lepersonnite-(Gd), Selenopolybasite and Zaherite.

There are several very interesting items from Germany here too, such as very good specimens of Eulytite, Sillenite, Rauenthalite, Proustite, Torbernite, Walpurgite and Guerinite from older finds in Erzgebirge and the Harz Mts.

The list also offers outstanding specimens of the two new members of the Tourmaline group, Fluor-elbaite from Brazil and Fluor-schorl from Schneeberg / Germany.

From older finds in Nevada there are very good specimens of Kleinite, outstanding Cosalites from Mexico, gemmy Gahnite and Jahnsite-(MnMnMn) from Brazil, several rarities from Langban and Stanfieldite crystals from a meteorite. In addition there are seven rare Pseudomorphs and twenty-six Type-locality specimens.

.The specimens are all in a very good or above average quality.

They have all received scientific analysis.
