GEMS AND JEWELS. 
The collection of gems and precious stones that, during the 
World’s Columbian Exposition, attracted so much attention at 
the Tiffany pavilion in the Manufactures Building, and in the 
gallery of the Mines and Mining Building, has been added to and 
occupies the central cases in this hall. It is believed to be the 
most complete collection in existence, for it contains nearly every 
known gem or precious stone, in the finest cut examples, in fine 
crystals, cleavages or rolled grains, always of gem value. Many 
of the objects in the collection are of historical interest and of 
world-wide reputation. 
Case 1, — Handsome objects made of rhodonite, jasper, and 
varieties of rare gem stones found in the Ural Mountains, Asiatic 
Russia. Prominent objects are a rhodonite jewel casket, rhodon- 
ite ink stand, two rhodonite coupes of rare markings, with jasper 
bases. Rhodonite is a favorite stone with the imperial family of 
Russia. 
Three fruit pieces of realistic effect made at Ekaterinburg, 
Asiatic Russia, composed of the following hard and rare gem 
stones found in the Ural Mountains: Raspberries of rhodonite,
