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 crystals; Gem Amethyst; 

 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 ingroups 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. 



Write for estimates on what you wish or 

 collections showing the entire Quartz range of 

 the State. 



Collections of any size sent on approval.
