J± EAEE OFFER! 



We have added to our stock of minerals in New York City during the past 

 six weeks more choice specimens than ever before ; we offer you the privi- 

 lege of selecting anything you want at a discount of ten per cent. (10$) dur- 

 the month of February only. The greater part of this large addition to our 

 stock was never before offered for sale in New York and includes many of 

 the best specimens from the private collections of Mr. E. Schernikow and 

 Mr. Geo. L. English, (both of which we have purchased), and also the pick 

 of numerous large shipments from England, Sicily, Germany, Greenland, 

 Canada, Missouri, Arizona, French Creek and Delaware Co., Pa., Herkimer 

 Co., N. Y., Tilly Foster Mine, etc., etc. It is impossible to go into details as 

 elaborately as the importance of these accessions demands. We will, there- 

 fore, merely mention a few of the most 



RECENT ADDITIONS TO OUR STOCK. 



FROM SICILY : The largest Hauerites ever sent to the U. S. ($25.00 to 

 S40.00 each), some of them over 2% inches in diameter and highly modified ; 

 also some fine groups of large crystals, crystals in the matrix and micro- 

 scopic crystals. Sulphur crystals, the most brilliant and beautiful we have 

 ever had and more of them* also a few exquisite groups. The variety of 

 forms is very great, and the prices range from 25c. to $4.00. 



FROM CANADA : Doubly-terminated Apatite crystals, 11 inches long ! 

 Pyroxene crystals and groups ; Ouvarovite garnets, etc. 



FROM FRENCH CREEK MINES: During a recent visit we secured 

 a large number of very interesting specimens, including Pyrite in curiously 

 distorted cubes, often showing vicinal faces, occasionally in groups ; Calcite 

 crystals enclosing Byssolite, pretty and odd; Chalcopyrite, isolated crys- 

 tals in Calcite ; Magnetite, well crystallized, etc. 



FROM DELAWARE CO., PA. : Several days during January were 

 spent visiting quarries and local collectors in this famous mineral district 

 and we have as a result the best crystals of Orthoclase ever found, some of 

 them weigh from twenty to forty pounds each and are very perfect, others 

 are of good drawer sizes. $1.00 to $10.00 each. Garnet, unusually good 

 crystals from Upper Chichester and Avondale, like some of the famous old- 

 time specimens. 50c. to $5.00. Amethysts, a very few finely-colored crys- 

 tals, $2.00 each. Sunstone and Moonstone, choice, 50c. to $1.50. Beryls, 

 25c. to $2.00. 



GOLD, CALIFORNIA : Probably the best crystallized specimen in the 

 IT. S. $400. It consists of a group of wonderfully sharp and beautifully 

 modified octahedrons on a base of leaf Gold. Nothing could be added to a 

 collection which would be so universally admired as this rich and exquisite 

 specimen. We also have a number of other marvellous specimens of wire 

 and leaf gold as good as any we have ever had (and some of them better) at 

 S10.00 to S100.00 each. 



TILLY FOSTER MINERALS : During a recent trip we secured a 

 few choice Chondrodite crystals, Titanite crystals, Clinochlore crystals, 

 etc. The demand for these minerals in the past has been so large that our 

 customers will welcome this announcement of a new supply. 



AQUAMARINE ! We have secured, just as this goes to press, one of 

 the finest crystals of Aquamarine from Siberia ever found. It is seven 

 inches long, 1% inches in diameter, transparent throughout nearly its entire 

 length, and of rich blue color. Price $200. 



Every Want of the Mineralogist Supplied. 



It is our aim to supply every want of the scientific mineralogist. Our 

 stock of rare species is surprisingly complete, the number of extra fine speci- 

 mens is far greater than in any other establishment, the supply of cheap 

 specimens and blowpipe minerals is larger and the quality better and prices 

 lower. Whatever you want, therefore, you can secure to best advantage by 

 ordering of us, and accepting our February offer.
