  Recently

   Quartz, 
  From

  Springs. 
  

  

  Rave 
  modifications 
  ! 
  Beautiful 
  inclusions 
  ! 
  

  

  Besides 
  the 
  clear 
  crystals 
  that 
  havel)een 
  famous 
  for 
  half 
  a 
  century, 
  this 
  

   locality 
  has 
  recently 
  produced 
  most 
  beautiful 
  inclusions 
  of 
  Chlorite, 
  Man- 
  

   ganese 
  oxide, 
  crystals 
  of 
  Albite, 
  Pyrophyllite, 
  etc. 
  

  

  In 
  many 
  cases 
  these 
  inclusions 
  are 
  deposited 
  along 
  the 
  lines 
  of 
  the 
  Quartz 
  

   crystallization, 
  giving 
  the 
  effect 
  of 
  u 
  phantom 
  crystals. 
  " 
  These 
  "phantoms" 
  

   are 
  particularly 
  striking 
  when 
  the 
  effect 
  is 
  due 
  to 
  the 
  green 
  chloritic 
  "moss,"' 
  

   a 
  number 
  of 
  them 
  having 
  been 
  cut 
  as 
  gems. 
  

  

  A 
  few 
  crystals 
  showing 
  the 
  right 
  and 
  left-handed 
  modifications, 
  and 
  the 
  

   twinning 
  of 
  the 
  two, 
  (Dana, 
  '92 
  ed., 
  p. 
  184, 
  figs. 
  5, 
  7, 
  8, 
  9, 
  and 
  10) 
  ; 
  remark- 
  

   ably 
  flattened, 
  curved 
  and 
  other 
  distorted 
  forms 
  were 
  obtained. 
  

  

  The 
  beauty 
  and 
  variety 
  of 
  these 
  can 
  be 
  fully 
  appreciated 
  only 
  by 
  those 
  who 
  

   saw 
  the 
  great 
  collection 
  of 
  Dr. 
  G. 
  W. 
  Lawrence 
  in 
  the 
  Arkansas 
  building 
  at 
  

   the 
  Centennial. 
  

  

  For 
  forty 
  years 
  the 
  Doctor 
  had 
  collected 
  while 
  resident 
  physician 
  at 
  Hot 
  

   Springs, 
  and 
  at 
  his 
  death, 
  three 
  years 
  ago, 
  his 
  collection 
  was 
  unequalled 
  in 
  

   Arkansas 
  minerals. 
  It 
  had 
  not 
  been 
  unpacked 
  until 
  purchased 
  last 
  month 
  

   by 
  Dr. 
  Foote, 
  who 
  at 
  the 
  same 
  time 
  got 
  the 
  pick 
  of 
  several 
  other 
  fine 
  old 
  pri- 
  

   vate 
  collections, 
  and 
  had 
  men 
  blasting 
  for 
  him 
  at 
  Magnet 
  Cove, 
  during 
  the 
  

   several 
  weeks 
  that 
  he 
  spent 
  in 
  and 
  around 
  Hot 
  Springs. 
  

  

  These 
  and 
  other 
  newer 
  collections 
  of 
  Hot 
  Springs 
  Quartz 
  that 
  have 
  just 
  

   reached 
  us, 
  aggregate 
  nearly 
  seven 
  thousand 
  pounds, 
  and 
  while 
  the 
  vast 
  

   majority 
  of 
  the 
  specimens 
  are 
  beautiful 
  clusters, 
  and 
  simple 
  crystals, 
  of 
  the 
  

   type 
  form, 
  the 
  lot 
  embraces 
  also 
  many 
  varieties 
  that 
  will 
  probably 
  never 
  be 
  

   duplicated.
