I have managed to put together a new mineral list once again, the 2-2026 edition. The past few months have been quite hectic. After the show in Sainte-Marie, I went collecting in northwestern Alaska, then attended the Denver show in September, and now the Munich Mineral Show is just around the corner. Over the last few months, I have acquired and analyzed a fair amount of interesting new material. There are new items from Germany, including lovely display specimens featuring Parkerite and Millerite from the Grüneau Mine in Rhineland-Palatinate, as well as Ferroakermanite and Petedunnite from Mansfeld. Also included are native Antimony, Magnesiovesuvianite, and Redingtonite from California; attractive specimens of Cornubite, Cornwallite, and Ferrimolybdite from Nevada and Utah; Gaspéite from its type locality in Canada; Lizhizhenite and Melanterite from Mexico; and Ferro-kaersutite, Garnet-Phonolite, and Calcite from the South Pacific. There are rare Uranium minerals such as Uvanite, Vanmeersscheite, Rauvite, and Vanuralite, along with Fulgerite pseudomorphs after Hollandite from Colorado, to name just a few highlights.
I hope you enjoy browsing through the new list. As always, orders can be placed via email, letter, or telephone. Visits can also be arranged by appointment.
Yours sincerely,
Gunnar Färber
