I've finally managed to compile a new mineral list, the 1-2026 edition. Attending the numerous international shows in recent months, such as those in Tokyo, Tucson, and Bologna, has been quite time-consuming. Over the past few months, I've received and analyzed a considerable amount of interesting material. This includes Uranium minerals from Saxony, rare Arsenide’s from Chile and Morocco, and beautiful and rare minerals from pegmatites in Brazil. I've also acquired new gemstone material from Kenya and Tanzania, outstanding Malachite Stalactites and Planchites from recent finds in the Congo, lovely display specimens with Euchroite and Kermesite crystals from Slovakia. Dravite and Almandine crystals from Antarctica, and much more—just to name a few. I hope you enjoy browsing the new list. As always, orders can be placed via email, letter, or telephone. Visits are also possible by prior arrangement.
Yours sincerely,
Gunnar Färber
