﻿SILICEOUS 
  CALCITE 
  CRYSTAIS 
  

  

  Or

  Bad 
  Lands

  Limestone." 
  

  

  Nearly 
  500 
  lbs. 
  of 
  these 
  curious 
  and 
  interesting 
  crys- 
  

   tallizations 
  were 
  received 
  during 
  January, 
  a 
  contract 
  hav- 
  

   ing 
  been 
  made 
  that 
  none 
  of 
  them 
  shall 
  be 
  sold 
  or 
  given 
  to 
  

   anyone 
  else 
  for 
  two 
  years. 
  They 
  are 
  not 
  nearly 
  so 
  sharp 
  

   as 
  the 
  specimens 
  from 
  the 
  well-known 
  French 
  locality, 
  

   but 
  they 
  are 
  tar 
  more 
  desirable 
  from 
  a 
  scientific 
  stand- 
  

   point 
  because 
  of 
  the 
  rare 
  form 
  of 
  the 
  crystals, 
  which 
  

   Prof. 
  Penfield 
  writes 
  us 
  is 
  "a 
  steep, 
  rounded 
  hexagonal 
  

   pyramid, 
  which 
  is 
  most 
  unusual 
  for 
  the 
  species." 
  They 
  

   will 
  be 
  fully 
  worked 
  up 
  and 
  described 
  under 
  the 
  super- 
  

   vision 
  of 
  Prof. 
  Penfield. 
  The 
  crystals 
  are 
  generally 
  

   attractively 
  clustered 
  and 
  frequently 
  they 
  are 
  doubly 
  

   terminated. 
  They 
  range 
  from 
  one 
  inch 
  to 
  nearly 
  six 
  inches 
  in 
  length 
  with 
  diam- 
  

   eter 
  about 
  one-third 
  the 
  length. 
  The 
  form, 
  cleavage 
  and 
  luster 
  of 
  the 
  calcite 
  are 
  

   well 
  preserved 
  while 
  every 
  crystal 
  is 
  densely 
  impregnated 
  with 
  siliceous 
  pebbles. 
  

   A 
  distinct 
  and 
  remarkable 
  stratification 
  is 
  apparent 
  in 
  a 
  number 
  of 
  the 
  specimens.

  Ouray 
  County, 
  Colorado, 
  we 
  have 
  just 
  secured 
  about 
  thirty 
  very

   balls,

  GOLDEN 
  CALCITES 
  FROM 
  JOPLIN. 
  

   Qne 
  of 
  the 
  most 
  prominent 
  mineralogists 
  recently 
  said 
  he 
  considered 
  his 
  golden 
  

   calcites 
  the 
  most 
  beautiful 
  specimens 
  in 
  his 
  collection. 
  The 
  opinion 
  is 
  doubtless 
  

   shared 
  by 
  the 
  hundreds 
  of 
  collectors 
  in 
  all 
  parts 
  of 
  the 
  world 
  who 
  have 
  bought 
  

   them 
  either 
  directly 
  or 
  indirectly 
  from 
  us, 
  for 
  we 
  have 
  probably 
  sold 
  at 
  least 
  2,500 
  

   of 
  these 
  matchless 
  calcites. 
  Recent 
  heavy 
  sales 
  having 
  nearly 
  exhausted 
  our 
  dis- 
  

   played 
  stock, 
  we 
  have 
  unpacked 
  and 
  priced 
  80 
  small 
  crystals, 
  a

  of 
  which 
  

   are
