BEAUTIFUL PINK GARNETS. 



Something entirely new. 



•■ The best mineral the United States has had in twelve years." So said one 

 of the foremost of New York mineralogists in speaking of our Mexican beauties. 

 It is also of amusing interest to know that the Xew York custom house officials 

 actually held the specimens to be dutiable, because they believed them to be 

 artificially cut and polished, so sharp are the edges and so brilliant the faces. A 

 reference to the analysis of the Garnet, as published herein (p. 321), shows it to 

 be a rare Grossularite variety. The delicate rose-pink color is entirely new to the 

 species, and the rhombic- dodecahedral form was hitherto most uncommon in the 

 Grossular variety. Our stock of the Pink Garnets is now very rich, both in good 

 loose crystals and in matrix specimens, and the contrast between the piuk of the 

 Garnet and the white of the limestone matrix is most pleasing. Absolutely per- 

 fect crystals are exceedingly scarce and are worth not less than $10. each; but 

 crystals of good color and but little bruised may be bought as low as $1.00, while 

 for those who want lower priced specimens, our stock of 10c. to 50c. specimens 

 will give ample opportunity of representing characteristically this rare, new, and 

 most interesting mineral — the most popular we have ever secured.

The Mammoth Mine in Penal Co.. Arizona, has recently yielded some

 since, but owing to the confusion attending our removal it was over- 

 looked and has just come to light. Some of the crystals we now have 

 are as transparent as glass and have an unusual brilliancy and beauty. 

 They vary from light yellow to deep, rich red. Prices 25c. to $2.00.
