we have the ceylonite or pleonaste, by some still 
considered as a distinct species, and the blue 
spinel from Aker in Sudermania. Another sub¬ 
stance nearly related to this species, is the auto - 
molite from Fahlun in Sweden, being the spi- 
nelle zincifere of Haiiy.—Among the specimens 
of chrysoberyl or cymophane may be noticed 
the North American variety, in its matrix of 
quartz and feldspar with small trapezoidal gar¬ 
nets.— Kyanite or disthene, massive, in separate 
crystals and imbedded, with grenatite, &c. : also 
in small polished pieces, which are sometimes 
mistaken for sapphires.—Emerald and beryl : 
several crystals of the South American emerald , 
insulated and in their matrix ; emeralds from 
Salzburg. Beryls of various colours, the most 
common of which is the variety called aqua¬ 
marine : the fine groups of these, found in ferru¬ 
ginous loam at Nerchinsk and Adontchelong 
in Siberia, are very remarkable 5 large crystals 
of emerald or beryl from Limoges in France, 
and from Rabenstein in Bavaria, the latter ac¬ 
companied by eolumbium.—Near the beryl is 
placed the euclase , a rare crystallized mineral sub¬ 
stance, discovered by Dombey, in Peru, and 
which has also lately been found in the chlorite 
slate at Capao, near Villaricca in Brasil.—The 
pycnite , referred by W erner to the beryl, under 
the name of shorlous beryl, and considered as a 
variety of topaz by Haiiy. The pyrophysalite ,
