Mineral ExchangesZeolites from Gaulsberg, Germany

15th Apr 2023 19:24 UTCMatthijs Hellinghuizen

I have come to possess a small number of specimens containing zeolites from the Gaulsberg quarry:

The pieces range in size from ~2 - 6 cm and contain the following minerals I've been able to identify:
Chabazite, analcime, thomsonite, natrolite, chlorite (perimorph after aragonite), calcite. Some of the chabazite is included by clay minerals (saponite?). There are some other minerals I haven't been able to conclusively identify.

I'm not interested in keeping them but the pieces are quite nice, so I'd rather not discard them. If you're interested, please let me know. I don't necessarily need anything in return, but I am always interested in micromounts. I can make pictures on request.

Best regards,
Matthijs

Hi Matthijs,
I am a swiss collector and I swap minerals since many years worldwide, most in MM size.
I have a - not very actual - list of minerals to swap. Please write me an email so I can send you the list, when you are interested in a swap: ur.schachtler<at>bluewin.ch
nice to hear from you

The pieces have since been sent to an interested party.
Thanks to all those who showed interest.
