Observations. 
As fine prismatic crystals in granite. 
Occurs as indistinct crystals in granitic rocks. 
As small crystals in greenstone porphyry. 
Small pieces occur with lignite, gravel and sand. 
Fine crystals of amethystine quartz in granite. 
In serpentine. 
In small compact masses and very small hexa- 
hedral crystals. 
As small crystals in schist. 
As grains and crystals in the detritus. 
Do. do. 
Occurs in considerable masses, having a cry- 
stalline structure, and in granite. 
Fine prismatic crystals in mica schist. 
Crystals in “ miascite.” 
In altered chloritic schist. 
In porphyry. 
Do. 
In grains with magnetic iron. 
This variety of quartz rock is finer in the moun- 
tains of Bieloretzin the Government of Tomsk 
and is polished at the works of Kolyvan. 
Splendid vases of the Siberian avanturine were 
presented to Baron Humboldt and Mr. Mur- 
chison by the Emperor of Russia. 
Generally compact, occasionally in crystals in 
porphyritic greenstone. 
In argillaceous schist. 
In copper mines. 
Fine crystals of yellow, blue and rose colour in 
granite. The transparent crystals sell for ahigh 
price. In the Museum of the Institute of the 
mines at St. Petersburgh, are to be seen cry- 
stals of Beryl nine inches and a half in length. 
In chlorite schist where pierced by greenstone. 
As small rhomboidal crystals in the chloritic and 
talcose schist. 
When bitter spar is found in masses and mixed 
with chlorite and quartz, the rock thus com- 
posed is called “ Listvenite.” 
In serpentine. 
In chloritic schist. 
Found in blocks amid the auriferous detritus. 
This mineral contains crystals in grains of Co- 
rundum and Zeilanite.
