NOVEL RUBELLITES. 



The success scored by the Swiss Cyanites, so carefully developed last year by 

 our expert, led us to experiment with the familiar and beautiful Rubellite in Lepido- 

 lite from California. The result pleases not only the popular fancy, but wins the 

 approval of the severest of critics, — the crystallographer. The "developed" 

 specimens from which the Lepidolite surface and inferior crystals have been 

 chiseled away, leave the beautiful pink Tourmaline crystals in bold relief on the 

 lilac background. The terminations of the crystals are generally exhibited in all 

 their perfection, a feature rarely seen in the crude specimens. The beautiful 

 chrysanthemum-like effect of the crystal radiations and clusters is strongly 

 accentuated. The few case and drawer specimens worked out will not be added 

 to, as the high labor cost prohibits further work. 



SWISS CYANITE. 



A recent lot of several hundred pounds, collected expressly for us, yielded 

 nothing equal to the material originally secured by our traveler. Several of the 

 earlier developed specimens still remain. 



CANADIAN AUGITE. 



A large shipment yielded a few choice groups of the pale green type of bright 

 and symmetrical crystals of large size. 



FAYALITE, 



Rockport, Mass. Rare. A small lot of pure massive pieces. 



CHRYSOBERYL, 



Greenwood, Maine. An overhauling of our stock and careful development of the 

 best material yielded crystallizations superior to anything offered before. 



NATIVE ARSENIC— NEW LOCALITY 



From Alden Island in the Queen Charlotte Group, British Columbia. A vein 

 recently uncovered afforded fine botryoidal masses well displayed in white lime- 

 stone. Quite as typical, more attractive, and at the same price as the old Saxon 

 specimens. 



GREENOCKITE. 

 As a fine green coating over Marcasite. Also from Aurora, Mo., gemmy Ruby 

 Blende, etc.
