 brilliantly colored crystallized minerals of equal decorative value, at

MINERAL COLLECTIONS 



Ranging from 75c. to $9.10 and upwards. Handsome quartered oak 

 cases with lifting trays, or the larger and more commodious drawer 

 cabinets are included, — not only to make a better display, but to avoid 

 confusion and mistakes. Careful preparation, combined with the 

 "standard" quality of our educational material, have established a 

 merited reputation for our collections, to sustain which no trouble or 

 expense is spared. 



POLYADELPHITE 



A recent trip to Franklin Furnace furnished a large assortment of 

 this yellow-brown variety of Garnet. Many of the groups are compara- 

 tively perfect, and development brought out the clear cut facial angles 

 in fine contrast to the cream-colored Calcite. Specimens 2" by 3" to 3' 

 by 4" and larger, 50c. to $4.00. 



Jeffersonite, Hornblende, Apatite, Tourmaline, the Zinc ores and 

 associations are all well displayed. Leucophoenicite, Nasonite, Hardy- 

 stonite and Hancockite. One specimen of Glaucochroite, $25.00 — and 

 it's worth every cent of it ! Two or three others, $1.00 to $6.00. 



NICCOLITE 



Interesting from a new locality — Tasmania. The find closely resem- 

 bles the ore from Germany, but shows associations to better advantage, 

 50c. to $3.00.
