revived, with Yankee enterprise, by lapidaries at
Nawagansett Pier. brighton lapldaries cut water
bits OF bottle glass into what became known
Brighton emerads" but the more enterprising lapi
diaries at NaTagansei Pier cut ordinary pebbles into
moonstones, yellow quartz and topaz and have even
been known to convert ordinary white stone into
a clear, yellow gem. Mr. George +. KunZ, the we'll
known mlneralOgist said lately that he had seen
number Of stones from Narragansett Pier, and that
tones Of the kind shown to him found
In the United States, but were Ceylon moonstones, and
cut In Ceylon, and wero worth much less than
the price charged by the Narragansett apidary even
for cutting The yellow Saxon topaz which visitors
at Naragansct believed they had picked up on the
beach, stones never found in nature but topaz

quantities. by manufacturers OF plnchbeck ieweiry In

OF their lives 10 watch him. The lapidarys wheel Is
