FOREIGN MINERALS and RARE SPECIES 



We take pleasure in calling to the notice of collectors numerous rare 

 and attractive minerals contained in a shipment of twenty -one cases 

 received by way of our Paris store. "Mail orders will receive careful 

 attention, and the privileges of our "approval system" are cheerfully 

 extended to purchasers wishing to make personal selections. As yet 

 we are not prepared to place more than a small portion of the entire 

 consignment on sale, but enumerated among those most interesting are 

 the following :— 



STOLZITE. 



One of the rarest of Australian minerals, which hitherto has been 

 unobtainable in other than high priced specimens. The assortment 

 offered from 50c. to $2.00 is unrivaled — but of course we have finer 

 crystallizations ranging from $5.00 to $15.00. 



HESSITE WITH KARELINITE. 



Both rare minerals of important composition. Material secured is 

 small, representing however an interesting association. $2.00 each. 



BISMUTITE. 



From Queensland. Typical examples, 50c. to $7.00. A rarity from 

 any locality, — doubly so from a new one. 



OPAL REPLACING SHELL. 



Curious alterations found at White Cliffs, N. S. W., show complete 

 replacement of the shell by translucent Opal,— sometimes of gem qual- 

 ity. Original form is retained perfectly and only the opalescent lustre 

 marks the distinction. A limited stock reasonably priced. 50c. to $4.00. 



TWINNED AMETHYST AND ROCK CRYSTAL. 



Polished sections i inch in thickness cut from a Brazilian crystal 

 exhibit curious markings not unlike the Chiastolite figures. A dark 

 colored Amethyst alternating with clear Rock Crystal forms a striking 

 contrast. An interesting phenomenon. Six specimens, priced $3.50 to 

 $5.00. 



WOLFRAMITE. 



Typical cleavage examples of the mineral from Argentine Republic. 

 No crystallizations as yet, but we hope to secure them. 50c, 75c. and 

 $1.00. 



A FEW OF THE RARE SPECIES. 



Raspite, a twinned monoclinic occurrence of lead tungstate from 

 Broken Hill ; new form of Mimetite associated with Gibbsite from 

 Tasmania ; Roepperite, Broken Hill ; Mimetite, Bolivia ; Thenardite, 

 Bolivia ; Beudantite crystals ; Crookesite, Percylite, Schwartzem-
