CHARLOTTE BAILEY ROCKS FOSSILS AND MINERALS CEASED TRADING IN 2021

This is the old stock page which, along with the site as it stood in 2021, is being retained for archive and reference purposes only


I have included some of my personal stock (listed as: EXHIBITION PIECE) as well as some items that I have previously sold (listed as: SOLD). This is because I am often able to source similar pieces for clients upon request. So, if you see something that you like, or might want, that is either an exhibtion piece or sold do, please, ask me if it is possible to source a similar item for you.


Unfortunately, though, a number of specific items are becoming increasingly hard to source, for instance the fossilised Araucaria pine cones from South America (because there is now an export ban in place) or Mammoth Tusks (because those currently being discovered in Russia are being bought up in bulk by the Chinese market for carving). I have thus had to mark a few items as "price on application" (listed as: POA). What that means is that I probably have such items in stock or could source some more for you but that I cannot commit to a specific price until I have checked the supply.



Prices do not include post & packaging




I am able to source a whole variety of different items of all sizes and types so please do contact me if you know what you are looking for but don't see it here.
