Rare Minerals 



So comparatively few collectors are interested in 

 ugly, rare minerals, that we doubtless fail to make 

 due mention in these columns of the large number of 

 rare species which come and go in our store. It is, 

 therefore, always a surprise to scientific .collectors who 

 favor us with a visit, to find how many rare minerals 

 we can furnish, and how many minerals once regarded 

 as rare have been deprived of that distinction through 

 our active efforts to secure them in quantity. For 

 example, we have a large drawer full of good speci- 

 mens of Melanophlogite, one of Fergusonite, another of Chondiodite, one 

 of Bertrandite, and six drawers full of fine crystallized Descloizites, and as 

 many of yellow Wulfenites and of crystallized Orpiments. We also have a 

 large stock of specimens of Beryllonite, Hiddenite, Thorogummite, Agui- 

 larite, Minium, Calaverite, crystallized Nagyagite, Pollucite, and indeed of 

 many other rare minerals. Of course there are very many species which we 

 cannot supply, and many of which we have but one or two specimens, but it is 

 a satisfaction to remember that our World's Fair Collection embraced about 

 650 distinct species, 338 of which were in specimens superior to any others 

 exhibited. Such being the case it must be evident that any descriptive 

 advertisement of our wonderful stock of rare minerals would be too lengthy 

 for journalistic advertisements, and that even a mere list of rare species now 

 in stock would fill many pages of fine print. Look over the following 

 greatly abbreviated list, and if you do not see what you want, write to us, 

 and very likely you will find that we have it.
