Its first issue was published in early 1970, and it is currently in its 30th year. The original goals professed in the first issue were to serve the needs of mineral collectors by supplying timely, pertinent information about minerals, mineral localities, and all related topics including new mineral data, book reviews, show news, reports on well known mineral localities on a worldwide basis, data on newly discovered as well as old, well known localities, biographical sketches of personalities within the science and hobby, and so forth. Through the years, the magazine's staff has persevered in their original goals, always providing a bigger and better magazine, always striving for higher quality articles. Indeed, the Mineralogical Record magazine has become a legend in its own time, and the back issues are in high demand as sources of information on important mineral finds, localities, etc. We offer our buy and sell prices for back issues below.

We will keep your request on file and notify you of the availability and price, as soon as we have located the issues you need to complete your collection. Complete year sets are priced slightly higher than individual issues, when available, since complete year sets are more difficult to obtain.
