. Jasper.—Common along the western sea coast, and also in 
some drifts. 
12. Hornstone and Chert.—Occur abundantl 
angular pieces along the Greenstone b 
being a product of metamorphic action. 
13. Lydianstone, Touchstone.—Occurs in drifts and in narrow 
veins in Silurian rocks in the neighborhood of Greenstone, 
14. Opal.—With the exception of “Precious opal,” reported by 
Dr, Bleasdale as occurring at Beechworth, all the other 
varieties are of frequent occurrence, viz.: Hyalite, Semt-

This quartz presents a peculiar 
feature: it is not found “in situ,” but 
the portion exhibited is one of a number 
of similar pieces, all possessing the same 
saddle-like form, and found scattered 
over the surface; it has a concretion- 
ary structure externally, and varies 
in thickness from one to six or eight 
inches.

Note.—These peculiar and rare crystals were discovered by Mr. 
Norman Taylor, of the Geological Survey, in a bed of yellow clay, resting’ 
on the granite. ‘They occur as a horizontal vein, the walls (upper and 
lower) of which were externally nearly flat, the crystals pointing inwards, 
and the intermediate space being occupied by a stiff yellow clay and flat 
plates of quartz. The ecrystals—some of which are nearly 2 inches 
long and three-quarters of an inch thick—are composed of a slightly 
smoky quartz, with hard rough faces, surrounding, a small opaque or 
milky quartz crystal, about one-third the size of the external one, and 
very rarely in the centre. The polished specimens exhibit the gradual 
growth or building up of the crystal in a very marked manner, by a 
series of deeper colored, smoky lines, parallel to the terminal faces of the 
internal crystal. One specimen appears to be split and traversed by
