Brilliant, Cleavable Orpiment 



We have just received a good-sized lot of specimens of 

 the most beautiful Orpiment we have ever secured. The 

 specimens are all of small cabinet sizes, rarely exceeding 

 2x2 inches, and averaging about 1^x2. The whole speci- 

 men is pure Orpiment and with the cleavage so perfectly 

 developed that it can be split up into thin cleavage plates 

 with almost as much, ease as Selenite, the thinner plates 

 being transparent and flexible. The lustre of these 

 cleavages is intensely brilliant and their color being of 

 the brightest yellow, our present specimens undoubtedly 

 will be admired by collectors as the most attractive 

 specimens of this mineral ever seen. Prices ? Cheap ! 

 to 35c. ; postage 2c. to 6c. extra. 



10c. to 50c, mostly 



Finest Amber Barites JEver Imported. 



About the middle of June we expect to place on sale a new find of the English 

 Amber Barites claimed to far excel any previously found. Also a few of the 

 new and attractive " Jacktrees " Calcites and a good lot of Stank and Bigrigg 

 Mine Calcites, Fluorites, etc. 



Matchless labradorite Specimens. 



One of our most prominent collectors after purchasing over $11 worth of pol- 

 ished Labradorite specimens from us said that we were not advertising them as 

 enthusiastically as their exceeding fine quality deserved. Possibly this has been 

 because we had only rather larger specimens than most collectors want. Now 

 we have had a large number of small and .medium size specimens finished up and 

 can surely please everyone The prices will be about 10 cents per square inch, 

 varying a little according to quality and thickness of the slab. This is, we 

 believe, cheaper than they have hitherto been offered, while the quality is 

 exceedingly fine ! Blue is. of course, the predominating color, but green, yel- 

 low, brown, purple, maroon, and occasionally even red colors are frequently seeu 

 in abundance. Probably the most attractive of all are those which show long 

 narrow bands alternately dull and of brilliant colors.
