oriental; as second in value, the fire;
and, lastly, the common opal. The af-
lection for this precious treasure. as ex-
pressed by the ancients, can hardly be

MUS. a Roman senator, absolutely pre-
ferred exile to parting with a brilliant
opal of the size of filbert, which was
earnestly coveted by Marc Antony. An
opal ranking as third among the finest
in the world is described AS having
three longitudinal bands of the harle-
quin kind, from the uppernost of which
rose pcrpendicularly the most re-
splendent flames. 1t measured nine
inches by six.
In the last century very round and
brilliant opal was the property Of the
amateur Fleury. Another. said to be
fascinati7gly vivid, was owned by a
noted Ffench financicr. These two
were regarded as marvels Of beauty
