Overview

The Mogul Mine, Silvermines is my favourite mineral district and I specialize in material from there. I'm extremely interested in acquiring any specimens from the district. Even if you do not wish to part with the specimen I would be extremely greatful for a photograph or even just a description of the specimen would suffice.

I'm especially interested in acquiring the bournonite figured on page 104 of the March-April 1999 issue of the Mineralogical Record (Vol.30, No.2).A photograph of the specimen can be found here; http://www.aditnow.co.uk/photo/Personal-Album-1490-Image-39001/

I'm interested in ANY specimens from the locality such as;
Galena

Sphalerite

-Baryte
-Pyrite
-Calcite
-Dolomite

Mogul Mine specimens I would like to see/acquire

- Tetrahedrite
Bournonite
- Jordanite
I am also trying to find examples of the various lead-silver sulfosalts from the Room 4611 occurence in the Mogul Mine such as;
-Proustite
-Argyrodite
-Pyrargyrite
-Miargyrite
-Smithite
-Polybasite
-Xanthoconite

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.

I'm also interested in any information on the Richard Barstow find known as the ''great vug''.

Thank You!
