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.differentcolors; 

 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 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
