Description. This rock, which, if not the first, ranks among 

 the first in beauty, consists of round or oval peb- 

 bles, or rather crystals, of various colours, in a 

 siliceous cement, sometimes approaching to trans- 

 parent quartz, at others itself a bricia of minute 

 fragments or crystals. The most common co- 

 lour of the pebbles .is grey, followed by the 

 brown, black, dark blue; the more beautiful, 

 yellow and red; the rarest being the green. 

 The cement is also of various colours, from the 

 transparent quartz to the opake red ; sometimes 

 of a metallic yellow, perhaps from disseminated 

 pyrites ; at other times tinged with yellow or red.

 his friends ; they are very rare and valuable.
