AMERICAN 

 CRYSTALLIZED CINNABAR. 



Possessing the color, brilliancy and transparency of cut rubies. Coming direct 

 from the well known California mines, the new find offers the best quality of this 

 highly prized rarity which we have yet seen. The crystals range from 1 to 4 mm. 

 or more diameter, and are generally grouped in protecting cavities. Their re- 

 markable lustre and gem-like aspect give an added value to their crystallographic 

 perfection. A habit of parallel grouping of the crystals adds to their showy 

 character. This collection is comparatively small, yet is a result of the long 

 continued efforts of a mine official. At less than the Spanish prices they find 

 immediate sale.
