FALL OPENING: SEPT. 4th. 



At 2 p. m. on Saturday, September 4th, we shall place 

 on sale a number of very large and fine lots of minerals, 

 among which we would call special attention to the fol- 

 lowing : 



ICELAND ZEOLITES!! 



On May 22d one of our collectors sailed from New 

 York for Iceland, and his long trip, taken exclusively for 

 minerals for our Company, has been recently successfully 

 completed, and the large collections which he secured are 

 now in our store. Over 300 choice specimens will be 

 offered to our customers September 4 th, as a result of this 

 trip. No such large or magnificent lot of Iceland minerals has ever before crossed 

 the Atlantic ; no such fine museum specimens of Iceland Heulandite 

 and Stilbite have ever been seen in this country; no such Scolecites, and 

 but few such Ptilolites, while the wealth of extra fine, cabinet-size specimens 

 of Stilbite and Heulandite will amaze every collector. The small lots of Ice- 

 land Zeolites heretofore obtained have only whetted the appetites of collectors for 

 our present magnificent offering. 



SPLENDID ENGLISH MINERALS. 



Our collector returned home via England and visited all of the important locali- 

 ties in the North of England, buying at the mines and from the miners and local 

 collectors. We may safely claim that our present offering of English minerals 

 has not been equalled for six years. It includes 248 small green and purple 

 Fluorites, many of best quality and some showing water bubbles; 136 groups 

 of pellucid Aragonite crystals, some of them exceedingly fine; 183 Barites of 

 various rich colors, including some of the exquisite blue, most beautifully asso- 

 ciated with Calcite, a lot of "shadow" Barites, etc ; 100 cabinet-size specimens 

 of Kidney Ore, of exceptional quality; 167 Specular Iron and Quartz, 

 large and small and thoroughly attractive; 93 gorgeous Scarlet Q,uartz, all 

 that could be obtained; 120 Bigrigg Mine Calcites, nearly all superior and 

 some surpassingly fine; about 60 richly tinted and very beautiful Stank Mine 

 Calcites; 17 new type, charming milky Calcites; 35 Egremont Twin 

 Calcites, which we will sell at lowest prices ever known; etc., etc. 



PORRETTA CAVERNOUS QUARTZ CRYSTALS. 



A large and exceedingly fine lot at remarkably low prices, — 5c. to 25c. 

 SIPYLITE, THE RARE NIOBATE OF ERBIA. 



By far the finest and largest lot of specimens of this excessively rare mineral 

 we have ever had, and all that are likely ever to be obtained. 



GEORGIA RUTILES. 



A new and surprisingly fine lot of matrix specimens, showing crystals of un- 

 rivalled brilliancy and beauty. 



UTAH VARISCITE. 



A lot of polished slabs just finished up by the lapidary, embracing many of 

 marvelous beauty. 



A SMALL COLLECTION OF JAPANESE MINERALS, 



Including Axinite, Ilvaite, Sanukite, Vivianite, Hyalite, Rhodochrosite, Stibnite, 

 Topaz, Orthoclase, Olivine crystals, Andesine crystals, Anorthite crystals, etc.
