In the town of Diana, the ie minerals occur abundantly. Tab- 
ular spar, with green coccolite, nuttallite, variegated serpentine, rens- 
Selaerite, black pyroxene, feldspar, in crystals variously modified, and 
8 singular cog apparently of graphite, chlorite, and specular iron 
ore, which has been strangely considered an ‘ore of silver.”” Asso- 
ciated with the foregoing, but in less quantities, are sales, crystals of 
‘sulphuret of iron, and very rarely zircon. 
The vicinity also affords surfaces spangled with minute meee of 
riz, upon.a coarse variety of agate, and calcedony: an rystal-

may be possible to procure more of this mineral, but the expense would 
be great, and success very uncertain
