at others, the prisms have nine sides, with various terminations. It is 
associated with reddish brown mica.* The blue and black varieties 
occur in the granitic beds or veins in various parts of the island. Many

Orange County. Tourmaline of various colours, and often well crystallized, is found in

A mile north of the same village, 
black and imperfect crystals are 
found, sometimes half an inch in 
diameter, and from a sixteenth to a
