Observations. 
As small crystals on the red copper ore. 
As small white flakes in serpentine. 
As prismatic crystals in granite. 
Small masses of a rose colour occur in the 
miascite ol the Ilmen Hills. Its cleavage is 
parallel to the faces of a regular hexagonal 
prism. 
As small crystals exhibiting dichroism.

As line crystals of a deep green colour in mica 
ceous schist. This mineral is found generally 
in triple, seldom in simple crystals, and ex- 
hibits dichroism. 
In small crystals remarkable for icositetrahedral 
forms ? 
In veins of quartz. 
As hexagonal tablets in sandstone. 
In small grains in chlorite schist. 
In felspar, some of the crystals are of a bright 
blue colour, and some", though very rarelv, 
partly transparent. 
In serpentine. 
Near the country house of M. Medjer, two 
diamonds have been found in the detritus, the 
largest weighing % carats. 
One diamond only found here, weighing J carats. 
Oire diamond weighing J carats. 
Up to the year 1833 about forty diamonds had 
been found in the auriferous gravel. The 
largest weighed 2iy carats, the smallest y 
carat (see p. 480). 
As crystalline masses in chloritic schist. 
Beautiful crystals in chloritic schist, where 
pierced by greenstone (see p. 428). 
This mineral, with black mica and white felspar, 
forms the rock called miascite, subordinate to 
granite. 
This locality is celebrated for its emeralds. The 
largest and most transparent crystals are cut 
and sent to the Imperial Winter Palace at St. 
Petersburgh. 
In chloritic schist. 
In veins of quartz. In porphvry. 
In small quantities in blocks of Borsovite. 
In fine large crystals united in groups in granite. 
Fine green crystals (.Amazon Stone). 
Groups of white and yellow crystals.
