Recent Additions to Stock. 



CALCITE. In splendid scalenohedrons 

 from one to eighteen inches in diameter, 

 containing "phantoms" of Marcasite, some 

 of the larger crystals showing tints of am- 

 ethystine and honey-yellow color divided 

 by lines of bright Marcasite crystals. 25c 

 to $10.00. 



ICELAND SPAR. Where particularly 

 clear or finely colored material was found, 

 we sacrificed crystallization and obtained 

 from parts of large crystals, what are be- 

 lieved to be the most beautiful rhombs of 

 Iceland Spar ever seen. They show per- 

 fect transparency save for the exquisite 

 coloring of yellow and various amethyst 

 shades, and the bands of brilliant spear- 

 shaped Marcasite crystals. 



The small cleavages at 10c. to 25c. are of 

 quite as fine quality as the cabinet speci- 

 mens of higher price and make a novel ad- 

 dition to the collection-of microscopist or 

 amateur. 



DIASPORE CRYSTALS —All of the resent find made at Chester, Mass., 

 was secured by us. Clear, violet-colored crystals of high lustre and per- 

 fect crystallization are implanted on the emery, making specimens of a 

 type new to collectors. None have been found but the few taken out some 

 months ago and our collector informs us that there is little chance of their 

 being found again: $2.00 to $15.00. 

 Small groups and microscopic specimens, 50c to $1.50. .... 

 ZEOLITES FROM OREGON. A new locality rivaling Nova Scotia in the 

 excellence of ils Ghabazites, Stilbites, Natrolites, Thompsomtes. A large lot 

 received, containing many beautiful specimens, the groups of Chabazite 

 being especially noteworthy. Also Lorandite. Kylindrite, Caswelhte, Em- 

 eralds, Onyx, Sphalerite, etc., etc. Boxes of minerals sent for examination.
