MULTlTUDss OF CRYSTALS.
Perfectly Transparent, They Cover a
Wonderful Mound Discovered
in Utah.

Those who are at all interested in the
study of rocks and stones have probably
observed some of the peculiar secretions
or nodu!es which frequently occur in
certain kinds of stratified rock. These
structures are usually round; some OF
them, indeed, are almost perfect spheres,
and many are hollow, having their inner
walls covered with beautiful crystals.
Such hollow nodule, whether possessing
a crystalline lining or not, is known as a
geode. Now, | wish to tell you of
geode which in form and appearance, and
probably also in process of formation, is
very much like those referred to, but of
mammoth proportions. 1t is composed
of pure gypsum or selenite, and many of
the single crystals are of gigantic size.
This wonderful formation was discovered
within few miles of the ma estic Henry
Mountains in southern Utah. 1t is stu
ated in small tributary of the Fremont
canon; and this in turn leads to the
Grand Canon of the Colorado. The
CRYSTALS occur in a cave, which is en-
closed in shell of gypsum; and this
mound like structure stands on the side
of sandstone hill This is the geode
which we have come to see. What q
contrast with the land specimens we
have been accustomed to examine
From without the mound appears
to be roughly egg-shaped; it is almost
twenty five feet long, ten feet wide and
averages twenty feet from the ground on
the lower side of the top. 1t is COM
posed entirely of selenite, even the out
side exhibiting multitude OF crystal
faces. which sparkle in the sunlight with
brilliancv that commands admiration
| from a distance OF miles. On the east
end an opening occurs large enough to
admit man without discomfort; within
| one NAV make his way backward about
twenty five feet, and by exercising care
he may Chamber up between the crystals
to height of fifteen feet.
The inner walls bear a multitude OF
huge crystals, which project into the
cavern from either side, a few extending
completely across like immense beams.
Several of the crystals which have been
sawed from the walls are even larger and
heavier than the body of full-growr
man. Perfect prisms of selenite five feet
in length are found; one of the finest te
be seen is fifty-oue inches long, and at
tached to one of its faces are nineteer
smaller crystals. Twin crystals in grea'
variety are common, and groups, eaef
containing many beautiful prisms, als'
occur. We took from the floor of thu
cavern very large group, weighing owe
600 pounds, containing numerous lndl
vidual crystals. Many of the crystals arr
of perfect transparency; Others are GOV
cred with thin layer of sand and clay
which must be removed that the luste
and purity of the substance may be rem
dered apparent A few feet below tn
, floor, which is made up mostly of san'
. driven in by the wind, we found that tn
,, gypsum she'll closes in, forming, there
fore, perfect nodule, or geode.-l Pop
