COLLEGES AND COLLECTORS 



MINERALS. 



Will find in our large stock exactly what 

 they want. We have made it our aim to se- 

 cure the very best material obtainable, and to 

 keep on hand everything in the way of minerals that is wanted. We, therefore, 

 have a very large stock of pure minerals which we sell by weight for Blow- 

 pipe Analysis. These are not scraps so small as to be of no service, but char- 

 acteristic massive specimens of good size which can be broken up for practical work 

 as may be desired. Those who want Cheap Specimens will find our stock 

 very complete. For advanced mineralogists, crystallographers and connoisseurs, 

 we have unquestionably the 



Finest Stock of Cabinet Specimens in the Country. 



Particular attention is paid to securing all the newest and choicest finds and one 

 or more of our collectors may always be found in the far west traveling from one 

 locality to another and devoting his time exclusively to securing the best of 

 everything for us, and, through us, for you. Our correspondents abroad are also 

 constantly securing good things which we receive from time to time. It must be 

 evident to you, as we are the only firm in the United States who confine their 

 business exclusively to minerals, and as we are determined in the conduct of our 

 business invariably to adhere to the strictest principles of integrity, to be enter- 

 prisiDg, progressive and prompt, that you will be able to deal more satisfactorily 

 with us than with anyone else. Our prices, too, will be found to be, as a general 

 rule, very considerably lower than those elsewhere. Our Complete Catalogue, 

 a new edition of which was issued November 1st, will be sent you free. During 

 the past six mouths the additions to our stock have been far greater than ever 

 before and the specimens secured have been, as a rule, much finer and lower in 

 price, having been collected at the mines expressly for us. Among the many — 

 very many — additions, few are more desirable than the 



Descloizites from New Mexico, in brilliant scarlet and rich dark red and 

 brown stalactites and druses of small crystals, some specimens showing pseudo- 

 morphs after vanadinite. The finest lot ever found was received during November. 



Vanadinite in fine red crystals is one of our specialties. We have a magnifi- 

 cent stock at exceedingly low prices Send $1.00 for a sample. 



Brochantite from a new Utah locality iu remarkably fine specimens, at about 

 one-tenth the prices ordinarily asked for this rare mineral. 



Calcites, Fluorites, Barites and many rare and choice specimens from 

 England were received in October, our importation, including over 300 fine 

 specimens. 



Colorado Minerals are strongly represented in our stock and many excep- 

 tionally good things are on hand, among them terminated Hubnerite, prismatic 

 Phenacite, Bertrandite, Spessartite, Pyrite, Amethyst crystals with trihedral ter- 

 minations and crystal cavities, Zunyite, Beegerite, etc. 



Utah Copper Arsenates such as Clinoclasite, Conichalcite, Erinite, 

 Olivenite, Tyrolite, etc., are also in stock as though they were not rare. 

 Jarosite in fine crystals, Lettsomite, fibrous Chalcanthite, Tetrahedrite 

 crystals, Rutile crystals, Chalcopyrite crystals, native Tellurium, and 



hundreds of other desirable minerals can be purchased of us. 



We want to secure your custom. Will you not send us a trial order?
