REMARKABLE CONSIGNMENT 



OF 



Rare and Choice Minerals. 



This remarkable consignment consists of so inany fine specimens that our 

 limited space will not permit us to do justice to them. We are therefore 

 preparing a descriptive list which can be had for the asking, and will be 

 ready for mailing on January 1st. 



At the same time if you are interested in any of these specimens it would 

 be well to lose no time, but either call, or order them sent on approval, as 

 most of them cannot be duplicated for any money when those on hand are 

 sold. 



We call especial attention to the fine Euclase crystals, advertised, three of 

 which are believed to be the largest in the world. Also to the Russian min- 

 erals and the remarkable California and Texas Mercury specimens. There 

 are also a fine lot of English and Hungarian minerals.
