Shop Updates

We're back, and there's a lot of new material hitting the shop as we reopen. Here's what's new and what's coming.

New Acquisitions & Listings

We've been busy sourcing and photographing across every category we carry, and a good chunk of what's going up is coming straight from personal collection as our own collecting focus shifts toward other mineral groups — meaning some genuinely well-curated, long-held pieces are making their way to new homes rather than sitting in a box.

  • Meteorites — new individuals and fragments across several classifications, including fresh witnessed-fall material alongside some well-documented classic finds.
  • Fossils — a small but growing selection of fossil specimens for collectors who want a foothold in paleontology alongside their mineral collection.
  • Fluorescent Minerals — shortwave and longwave-reactive specimens, including material from some of the most storied fluorescent localities out there.
  • Micromounts — a big batch of micromount specimens for collectors who appreciate detail-rich material in a small footprint — great for anyone building out a systematic collection without needing display-case real estate for every piece.
  • Fulgurites — natural lightning-fused glass specimens, including some striking branching pieces from the Sahara Desert.
  • Radioactive Minerals — new additions to our radioactive specimen lineup, ranging from entry-level pieces to some genuinely high-activity material for serious "hot rock" collectors. As always, full activity readings and handling guidance are included with every listing.

Downsizing the Personal Collection

After many years of collecting, I've made the decision to downsize my personal radioactive mineral collection down to just a handful of specimens going forward. What's being offered here isn't overflow or duplicate material — these are genuinely rare, well-documented pieces from my own cabinet, several of which simply don't reach the open market anymore. Because of that, pricing on these specimens will be firmer than usual, and a few I'm still on the fence about parting with at all, so availability may shift. If you've been looking for a serious, irreplaceable addition to a radioactive or locality-focused collection, this is a genuine opportunity to pick up something you won't easily find again. 

Shipping Cost Changes

Domestic shipping across Canada is moving to a flat rate of $16, up $2 from our previous rate, in line with current carrier pricing. International shipping will now be calculated per order based on package size and weight, rather than a flat rate, to more accurately reflect the actual cost of getting larger or heavier specimens overseas. As always, radioactive specimens remain domestic-only, and Canadian meteorites are not available for international shipment.

A Note on US Shipping

Shipping to the United States remains suspended for the time being, due to the actions and policies of the current US Government affecting cross-border trade. We know this is disappointing for our American collector base, and it's not a decision we take lightly — we built a lot of good relationships with US customers over the years. We'll post an update here the moment that changes. We sincerely apologize for having to take this step.

Reference Shelf Updates

Our Reference Shelf — the section of the shop dedicated to educational and reference content for collectors — is getting new material alongside the inventory restock. We'll be adding articles covering topics like field collecting basics, safe handling and storage practices for radioactive specimens, an introduction to meteorite classification, and locality-specific write-ups tied to some of the specimens we carry. The goal is to make this a genuinely useful resource whether you're new to the hobby or you've been collecting for decades, not just a sales add-on.

Reference Shelf content will keep growing over time as we add new articles, so it's worth checking back periodically even outside of new inventory drops. As always, if there's a topic you'd like to see covered — a mineral group, a collecting technique, a specific locality — let us know and we'll look at adding it to the list.

Reopening Contest — Win a Radman Minerals Gift Card!

To celebrate our grand reopening, every order placed between now and November 15, 2026 will be automatically entered into a draw for a chance to win one of three available gift card prizes: one $100 gift card, and two $50 gift cards are available.

No extra steps needed. Simply place an order during the contest period and you're entered. Entry is limited to one per person, regardless of how many orders you place. Winners will be selected and announced after the contest closes on November 15, 2026.

Thanks for helping us celebrate getting back open — and good luck!

What's Next

This isn't a one-time restock. We're planning to add new specimens on a regular, ongoing basis rather than in occasional large batches, so it's worth checking back often. We're also always open to suggestions: if there's a locality, specimen type, or category you'd like to see us carry, let us know. Collector input genuinely shapes what we go looking for next.

Thanks for your patience as we've gotten this reopening together, and for your continued support of a small operation run out of our basement. We're looking forward to reconnecting with the collector community.
