It is the only publication In America in which 

 dealers and collectors are sure of having their 

 notices placed In the hands of all working Nat- 

 uralists almost as soon as if done by addressing 

 each by letter— while in an ordinary monthly

 30 or more days. 



In the Natural Science News this delay will 

 be obviated.

CRYSTALS. 



If your cabinet is not represented by a suit 

 of those superbly crystalized North Carolina 

 Quartzes, it is lacking in one of its most beau- 

 tiful and attractive features. 



Quartzes in Crystals, with the following 

 Inclusions: Large, movable water drops, as 

 large as peas: Kaolin; Clay, different colors; 

 Wad; Chlorite; Micas; &c. 



Rutilated Quartz in all varieties, clear 

 and amethyst. This is a true gem stone, odd 

 and beautiful. 



Zircons in large, modified and small bril- 

 liant Crystals. 



Occasionally, the following can be sent out 

 in extra specimens: Beryls, Columbite, 

 in piled groups of cry stals ; G e m A m e t h y s t ; 

 Rutile, blood-red. single Crystals: Hidden- 

 ite, the best to be had but none very large: 

 Kyanite, sky-blue Crystals: Octahedrite; 

 Chlorite Crystals; Samarskite; Gum- 

 mite; Tourmalines, fine black with ter- 

 minations, also in groups of doubly terminat- 

 ed Crystals, rare; Garnets, Crystals and fine 

 pieces for cutting, peculiar tint; Monazite, 

 and others. 



I wish to call attention to some magnificent 

 Crystals and groups of Quartzes, suitable for 

 Museums and College collections, one group 

 on hand weighing 40 pounds.

 collections showing the entire Quartz range of 

 the State.
