I am looking for Thunder Bay silver and fluorite specimens for my collection. I will swap Madoc fluorite, rutile, and gold/silver specimens for Thunder Bay material. I am a fluorite species collector and am looking for Thunder Bay and Lundy's Lane fluorites to fill a void in my collection.

I visit Thunder Bay in the summer (and will be in Thunder bay August 20-25 if you wish to swap

Regards, Bryan.

Understand your note talks about fluorite, but am sending in case there is an interest.

Are you interested in a very large plate of reddish purple Amethyst xls from Thunder Bay. The specimen is roughly round and 2 ft in diamter. Xls are stout and are mostly around 5 cm in diameter. The plate is completely covered with xls and is essentially undamaged. There is a very light druze of micro quartz xls covering roughly 1/2 of many of the xls on one side which shows that the plate came from the side of a vug. I am sure that the micro crystals can be removed and the specimen raised to museum quality if one knows how to prepare specimens. The piece has not been prepped but has been cleaned of dirt, etc and is not stained. It does look impressive as natural but would be even better prepped. The piece was obtained during a collecting trip around 35 years ago to Canada. I can either sell or trade for this specimen. Trade would have to be value for value. For selling I cannot essentially give away this specimen but will give you a good price. The piece is quite heavy and not fragile. Because this piece is in storage and would take a bit to access, I would like to know if you have interest first. I will then dig it out, and give you a very detailed exact description. If still interested will take photos. It is a bigger specimen than we normally carry to shows.

Dear Mr. Jonson,

I'm looking for a long time 25 samples of Gold in thumbnail size, and other minerals of Cobalt area (Alloclasite, Skutterudite, etc., Micromount size).

Unfortunately I do not have to offer Fluorite.

If you are interested I will send you my lists.

Please you send me your email.

We can do the same exchange?

Regards.

Stefano
