MINERALS— RECENT ARRIVALS. 



Prof. Foote has shipped us from Italy the following choice specimens. 



Hauerites in the gangue. The shaft from which the specimens were taken 

 hag not been worked for a year, having- proved unprofitable, and though very deep 

 is filled with poispnous gas. The owner demands a guarantee of $1,000 

 it and tree it from gas without guaranteeing that any Hauerites will be found. 

 Prof. Foote made two trips to the mine taking assistants to work over the dump 

 and secured a number of good specimens in the gangue. lie purchased all the 

 single crystals to be obtained in Catania, Raddtisa, and several ether places, and 

 offers them at the following low rates: Single perfect crystals. 10c. upward. 

 Broken crystals and cleavages, 5c. upward. Groups of small crystals for the micro- 

 scope. 10c. to 50c. Crystals in the clay gangue, 25c. upward. 



From Bottino the following fine specimens were obtained and can be offered a1 

 exceedingly low' prices: Meneghinite crystals, 5c. to 50ci Meneghinite groups, 

 15c. to S5.00. Heteromorphite (Feather ore) in beautiful capillary aggregations, 

 25c. to $3.50 ;. small specimens, 5c. to 25c. From the same locality the rare variety 

 of Sphalerite, called Marmadite. This variety is so distinct in composition 

 that it is more important than many species. The crystals are well formed and 

 very brilliant; usually associated with Feather ore. Groups, 25c. to $2.00. 



From Cararra very beautiful specimens of the limpid quartz on the pure white 

 marble that have made this locality so well known to mineralogists. Some speci- 

 mens associated with Dolomite and other species. Specimens, 50c. to $5.00. 

 Larderellite, Bechilite, Buratite, from the original locality at Campigli, (the 

 mine having been closed many years). 



Sulphurs, Aragonites, Celestites, Selenite crystals and Selenite with 

 Sulphur and Aragonite crystals showing in its limpid depths call forth the 

 greatest admiration. They are in every size and form and at prices from 5c. up- 

 ward. We offer better specimens for 25c. than have ever been sold for $1.00. 

 Many fine brilliant single crystals. These are rare. Facceliite, Euchlorite, 

 and many other rare species from Vesuvius. 



ELBA MINERALS. 



Brilliant Hematites and twinned Pyrites. By a recent purchase of a large 

 collection on the Island of Elba, Prof. Foote secured some of the most beautiful 

 iridescent Hematites ever seen. Also a number of rare forms and large groups. 

 There are no more showy specimens of any kind than these iridescent Hematites 

 and brilliant Pyrites. 



SARDINIAN MINERALS. 



Cerussites. If anything could rival the beauty of the above it would be the 

 satin white crystals of Cerussite on a dark brown stalactitic Limonite back- 

 ground. Some of these are grouped in wheat sheaf forms similar to some Stil- 

 bites. 25c. each and upward. 



Phosgenites and Anglesites are among the fine minerals secured by Prof. 

 Foote during his recent trip through Sardinia. Some of the Anglesites are green 

 and show a variety of form. The lot is pronounced the finest that ever left the 

 Island and as the mines are now deep, some kinds are not obtainable and all are 

 rare. Crystals on and off the gangue, 25c. and upward. Ullmannite, the Anti- 

 moniate of Nickel well crystallized in groups, from $1.00 each upward. 



Breithauptite, Argentite, Harmotome, etc., etc. 



BOLEITE. 



Prof. Foote has just purchased the entire find of this rare species. The lot 

 contains all the forms figured by Prof. E, Mallard and E. Cumenge in their recent 

 monograph describing the species, and we are able to offer a variety of crj'stals, 

 cleavages and groups at. greatly reduced prices. Single crystals, I Oc. upward. 

 Twins of both octahedrons and cubes, $1.00 to $3.00. Gangue specimens, quite 

 rare, $3.00 to $15.00.
