SPLENDID GAP MINE MILLERITES 
We purchased _during September the largest and finest 
collection of Millerite specimens ever brought together 
at the Gap Mine. These specimens have been accumu- 
lating for a long time, the majority of them having been 
taken out nearly twenty years ago. The mine has been 
closed for about two years and is now permanently 
abandoned. The greater portion of the collection consists 
of plates of Millerite, both large and small, and % to 5 
inch thick, made up of closely ageresated capillary crys- 
tals, w hose terminations give the upper surface a velvety 
appearance; prices 10c to $5.00. There is also an excel- 
é i lent lot of specimens with the capillary Millerite coating 
Pyrrhotite, at 10c. to $2.50, and a goodly number of splendid radiated and 
eerie specimens at $1. 50 to $5.00. Pure Millerite for blowpipe work, $2.00 
A RIP TO NORTH CAROLINA. 
eee: Mr: English visited during September a number of important N. C. localities 
‘and secured many choice specimens, among them: 
oe - AUERLITE, the rare silico-phosphate of thorium, in good crystals from both 
% the old and a new locality. 
-MUSCOVITE in remarkably sharp, and perfect, modified, loose crystals; a 
le ondid. large lot; 5c. to 25e-~ Also good groups of sharp orystals on the matrix, 
c. to 50e. The best a enons will be improved by a series of these cheap yet 
ie erystals. ° 
_RUTILE crystals a Hiddenite, small but highly modified. 
_BERYLS. A few very highly modified little crystals from Hiddenite, 
QUARTZ. A few loose crystals with an interesting trapezohedral develop- 
ment, from a new locality in Cleveland Co. A fine lot of the rare Quartzes of Alex- 
13 ander and Lincoln Counties. One specially fine, large crystal with bubble in it, 
$10.00. Mitchell Co. finds will be announced next month. 
SIPYLITE, the very rare erbium mineral from Va., a new lot just received. 
_ FROM MISSOURI. A shipment has just arrived from the famous J oplin 
Zine region and brings us a fine lotofspecimens. Iridescent tetrahedrons of Chal- 
 copyrite attractively sprinkled over groups of pearl-colored, curved crystals of 
Dolomite. Splendid bright yellow, modified scalenchedrons of Calcite. Beautiful 
brilliant groups of Sphalerite, occasionally iridescent. Fibrous and radiated 
a Sphalerite—the mineral which oly passes as “ Wurtzite,” and a few 
. - erystalized specimens of the real Wurtzite. 
‘ee FROM ICELAND. A grand lot of about 25 specimens of Heulandite, Stil- 
ite and Epistilbite due Oct. Ist. The Iceland Zeolites are probably the finest in the 
1d, and as we understand no more are obtainable, the present may be the last 
FROM RUSSIA. A ahiniient is expected by Oct. lst, bringing us a fresh 
supply of the splendid Russian Topaz, Beryl, Alexandrite, Rubellite, “ete. Write
