﻿HODGKINSOMTE, 
  A 
  NEW 
  MINERAL. 
  

  

  We 
  have 
  been 
  fortunate 
  enough 
  to 
  secure 
  the 
  best 
  specimens 
  of 
  this 
  very- 
  

   rare 
  mineral. 
  It 
  is 
  from 
  the 
  celebrated 
  Franklin 
  Furnace 
  mines 
  and 
  is 
  a 
  rare 
  

   compound, 
  the 
  formula 
  of 
  which 
  is 
  Mn(ZnOH) 
  2 
  Si0 
  4 
  . 
  It 
  crystallizes 
  under 
  

   the 
  monoclinic 
  system 
  and 
  is 
  pink 
  in 
  color 
  associated 
  with 
  barite. 
  In 
  a 
  few 
  

   specimens 
  it 
  is 
  associated 
  with 
  the 
  rare 
  minerals 
  Pyrochroite 
  and 
  Gageite. 
  

   The 
  whole 
  makes 
  a 
  very 
  pretty 
  specimen. 
  Prof. 
  Charles 
  Palache 
  has 
  ana- 
  

   lyzed 
  and 
  will 
  soon 
  publish 
  a 
  description 
  of 
  it. 
  The 
  quantity 
  found 
  is 
  

   scarcely 
  enough 
  to 
  supply 
  the 
  scientific 
  institutions 
  who 
  will 
  want 
  a 
  speci- 
  

   men. 
  Prices 
  range 
  from 
  $1.00 
  to 
  $25.00. 
  

  

  A 
  NEW 
  OCCURRENCE— 
  Fluorescent 
  Willemite 
  with 
  Rhodocrosite. 
  

  

  The 
  Willemite 
  occurs 
  in 
  transparent 
  crystals 
  running 
  in 
  size 
  from 
  2 
  milli- 
  

   meters 
  in 
  diameter 
  to 
  almost 
  a 
  hair 
  in 
  thickness. 
  They 
  occur 
  in 
  cavities 
  on 
  

   Rhodocrosite, 
  making 
  a 
  very 
  beautiful 
  specimen. 
  Under 
  a 
  current 
  they 
  

   show 
  a 
  strong 
  fluorescence. 
  Prices 
  range 
  from 
  $1.00 
  to 
  $5.00. 
  

  

  SYNTHETIC 
  GEMS. 
  

  

  It 
  is 
  remarkable 
  the 
  interest 
  that 
  has 
  been 
  taken 
  by 
  scientists 
  in 
  these 
  

   wonderful 
  scientific 
  discoveries. 
  The 
  Corundums 
  are 
  now 
  produced 
  in 
  

   Pigeon 
  blood, 
  Blue, 
  Yellow, 
  Pink 
  and 
  White. 
  Also 
  the 
  new 
  Indestructible 
  

   Pearls 
  in 
  strings 
  with 
  gold 
  clasps. 
  These 
  are 
  identical 
  in 
  hardness 
  and 
  rival 
  

   in 
  color 
  and 
  lustre 
  the 
  real 
  gems. 
  They 
  can 
  be 
  dropped 
  and 
  stepped 
  on 
  

   without 
  injury 
  and 
  are 
  not 
  affected 
  by 
  acids. 
  My 
  collection 
  of 
  the 
  above 
  is 
  

   unrivalled, 
  and 
  prices 
  of 
  the 
  same 
  are 
  remarkably 
  low.

  REMOVAL 
  NOTICE. 
  

  

  Finding 
  that 
  at 
  our 
  recent 
  location 
  we 
  were 
  placed 
  at 
  a 
  disadvantage 
  in 
  

   receiving 
  and 
  shipping 
  our 
  numerous 
  consignments, 
  we 
  decided 
  to 
  return 
  to 
  

   our 
  old 
  location, 
  where 
  we 
  are 
  surrounded 
  by 
  the 
  greatest 
  gem 
  and 
  financial 
  

   district 
  in 
  the 
  world, 
  and 
  are 
  near 
  the 
  vast 
  shipping 
  interests, 
  Custom 
  

   House, 
  etc., 
  etc. 
  Our 
  old 
  offices 
  have 
  been 
  entirely 
  renovated 
  in 
  a 
  beautiful 
  

   manner, 
  new 
  cases 
  have 
  been 
  fitted 
  and 
  all 
  who 
  take 
  the 
  trouble 
  to 
  call 
  on 
  

   us 
  will 
  find 
  themselves 
  well 
  repaid 
  by 
  the 
  beautiful 
  display 
  of 
  minerals, 
  

   gems, 
  curios, 
  etc., 
  etc.
