GEO. L. ENGLISH'S ANNOUNCEMENTS. 



Mr. Atkinson of our firm sailed on the Etruria, May 16th, for an 

 extended collecting tour through Europe. We hope to announce next 

 month some of the many important additions to our stock which we 

 expect as the result of his trip. 



Mr. Niven of our firm started May 9th on another long tour through 

 the far West and Mexico. Already returns from Missouri and Colorado 

 are reported and some remarkable specimens have come in. Among 

 them is 



A magnificent specimen of Minium, 6| by 4 by 2 inches, weighing over 

 5 lbs. We believe this specimen to be the finest ever found. 



A mass of Horn Silver, nearly pure, 3 by 3£ by 2\ inches, weighing 

 2 lbs. 3 oz. was also secured by Mr. Niven. A much more wonderful 

 specimen of this mineral has just been received from New Mexico. It 

 is 7 by 6 by 4 inches and weighs over 12 lbs., and with the exception of 

 a little native silver, the entire mass is pure chloride of silver, giving it 

 a bullion value of over $125.00. 



Gold beautifully crystallized and in wires, has also been received 

 among other Colorado specimens from Mr. Niven, and some 



Fine Wire Silver, Embolite, Epidote crystals, Cerussite crystals, 

 etc., are in the same lot. 



Missouri specimens include most beautiful "ruby blende" crystals, 

 yellow calcites, etc. 



Proustile from Chill. A superb group (2 by 2i by 1£ inches) of 

 stout scalenohedral crystals, i to 1J inches long, has just come in. 

 Another very beautiful small group. 



Hiddenite crystals. A fine, large lot of singly and doubly terminated 

 crystals has been secured this month. We can supply these gem crys- 

 tals at lower prices than ever before. 



Beryllonite crystals. We have succeeded in purchasing a large 

 number of the best crystals ever found of this rare mineral, the lot 

 embracing probably 75 "to 100 choice crystals, besides many good cleav- 

 age specimens which latter we can sell as low as 10 cents each. 



Childrenite crystals from Maine (new). A few veiy excellent speci- 

 mens of this rare mineral have been received from a new locality in 

 Maine. The find is well worthy of especial notice.
