Precious Stones on the Tsthmns.

Some specimens of sparkling stones
were shown to us lately, which, we are
told, are found in certain localities on
seemed to be a variety of the opal, a
brilliant sometimes of enormous value,
according to its size and light.
1t is pretty generally known what the
discovery of the diamond fields of
Griqualand West has done for South
Africa. Not long ago we published a
paragraph stating, OF the authority of
the Cape argus, that diamonds of the
South African fields to the value Of two
millions sterling were sold last year.
The South African diamond fields extend
owe a surface of 800 square miles; yet,
for ages, no human hand disturbed the
millions of priceless brilliants which lay
scattered in those unknown deserts of
Griqualand West, till chance revealed
their existence so lately as the year
1869. The diamond is the most costly
of all precious stones; the emerald, the
ruby, and the sapphire also are highly
priced, as well as the topaz and the
amethyst
The opal, a variety of which seems
to exist here, sometimes has cost enor-
nous prices, in individual instances.
The best opals are found in Hungary
and Mexico. Our Isthmus is not so far
from the latter country that it is not I'M
reasonable to expect that good opals
may yet be discovered here.-Panana
