It seems natural to assume that low-index surfaces of insoluble minerals do not exchange atoms with their surroundings. Here, we will show using surface science techniques that all oxygen atoms on the *r-cut* (1-102) surface are exchanged with oxygen from surrounding water vapour within minutes at temperatures below 70°C, even though the structure remains intact. Density functional theory computations suggest the oxygen exchange occurs during on-surface diffusion, and that cooperative stabilization of an HO-HOH-OH complex compensates the cost of the lattice oxygen extraction. Such a rapid oxygen exchange mechanism affects the isotope composition in the near-surface region, and the knowledge of the mineral-liquid interface dynamics is relevant for many fields ranging from hydrogen production to paleoclimatology.
