FRENCH AND ITALIAN MINERALS. 



We have just received two consignments of nineteen boxes containing minerals 

 collected and purchased by Prof. Fc'ote, at various localities throughout France 

 and Italy. 



Among the more interesting specimens obtained are the following: 



From AUevaud — Beautiful rhombohedral Siderites. After an inspection of all 

 the French and Italian museums, Prof. Foote considers the best specimen we have 

 to be the finest one in the world. 25c. to $5.00. Largest groups, $5.00 to $15.00. 



From Bowg d'Oisans. — Axinite, a large lot of groups and single crystals, 

 among them some good microscopic specimens, 5c. to $7.50. 



Octahedrite crystals on the gangue, 15c. to $2.50. 



Quartz, clear, doubly terminated crystals occurring singly and in groups. We 

 offer these at about the prices the Herkimer quartzes bring. 



Adularia, beautiful microscopic as well as hand specimens. 



Epidote, associated with Axinite, also a few specimens of the now rare 

 Chessylite, $2.00 to $7.50. 



Allemontite. — We offer the brightest as specimens at the rate of $1.25 per 

 pound. Pure, but rougher, $1.00 per pound. 



Offretite. — A new and beautiful Zeolite, occurring in groups of hexagonal crys- 

 tals, 25c. to $1.50. 



These specimens were selected by Prof. Foote from the private collection of M. 

 Gounard, the describer of the species. 



Scheelite, some very large crystals, 25c. to $5.00. 



Dumortierite, from the original locality, 25c. to $2.50.

 Groups of brilliant and perfect crystals, 25c. to $3.50; larger, $5.00 to $15.00. 



An interesting and rare association of Baverno Orthoclase with Fluorite and 

 Calcite ; Diadochite ; Christianite ; Mesotype ; doubly terminated Ortho- 

 clase ; Pollux ; Rosterite ; Bustamite ; Arseniosiderite ; Quartz Pseu-

ENGLISH MINERALS. 



As advertised last month we received from Prof. Foote twenty boxes, the result 

 of a month spent in the localities of Derbyshire and Cornwall. 

 Full lists of these minerals will be sent on application.

 stock still contains a number of brilliant cubes, cubo-octahedrons and a few cleav- 

 ages. Perfect crystals, 50c. to $3.50. 



Rubellite. — Of this exceedingly beautiful mineral we have a large stock, em- 

 bracing a variety of forms. Large radiations, clusters of single crystals, many of 

 them terminated and separate crystals. Magnificent groups for museums, $2.00 

 and upwards. The choicest cabinet specimens from 25c. upwards. Fragments. 

 Separate crystals, some of which will cut gems of good color, 5c. to 50c.

 inches in diameter.
