Chrysoprase dnd Pimelite. 
A locality of Chrysoprase and Pimelite has lately been 
discovered, by my son, at New Fane. They occur in 
veins, in serpentine. ‘The chrysoprase is found amor- 
phous, and its fracture is a little splintery. Its specific 
gravity is 2.75. It is of an apple green colour, and trans- 
lucent. The colour of the green earth or pimelite is very 
similar to that of the chrysoprase, which it accompanies, 
and which, in some specimens, it almost envelopes. The 
pimelite is easily reduced to a dry powder. These miner- 
als have been exhibited to Prof. Dewey, and other expe- 
rienced mineralogists, who do not hesitate as to their na- 
ture. 
I have no information, that chrysoprase and pimelite 
have before been discovered in this country. They are 
beautiful minerals, and I will improve the first opportuni- 
ty, to send you specimens of them. 
At the same locality are found, precious serpentine, ste- 
atite, pot stone, chlorite, scaly talc, indurated talc, actyno- 
lite, chalcedony, calc. spar, bitter spar, diallage and asbés- 
tos.
