Mineralogical specimens as chemical source.
Certain interesting chemicals can be bought from mineralogy suppliers.
For example, many semi-metals such as arsenic, antimony, bismuth, selenium and silicon are available in elemental form.
Of course the purity will be variable and the samples would need grinding up. However this could be a useful source, especially for people who like
ticking off boxes on their periodic table.
