Overview
The
Mogul Mine, Silvermines is my favourite locality and I specialize in material from there. Therefore I am very interested in acquiring any specimens from there.
If you do not wish to part with the specimen I would be extremely greatful for a photograph and even just a description of the specimen would suffice.
Any information regarding the mineralogy of the mine or accounts of the Barstow find are of interest.
What I'm Looking For
I am very interested in acquiring crystallized examples of the various sulfosalts found at the mine, in particular bournonite and tetrahedrite.
I am also trying to find examples of the various lead-silver sulfosalts from the Room 4611 occurence such as proustite, argyrodite, pyrargyrite, miargyrite, smithite, polybasite and xanthoconite.
I am, of course, always interested in specimens of galena, sphalerite and pyrite.
Crystallized examples of the gangue minerals are of high importance to me so if you have a calcite, barite, dolomite or quartz please let me know!
What I Can Offer In Return
I can offer to pay cash for the specimen in question or else I can offer quality Irish minerals in trade.
Thank You!
