sized diamonds, while the interior is
Relieved to be impregnated with smaller
gems.
This remarkable piece was acquired
by Mr.. Levy on a recent visit to the
Kimberley mines in South Africa.
Sometimes in a ton of blue clay COM
posing the matrix not a diamond is
found, but here is a handful bristling
with diamonds. 1t is three and one-half
inches high and four inches wide. The
material about the stones seems to be
a sort Of dull blue rock. 1t is really
clay, and if scraped with a penknife
will yield fine dust When rubbed with
a wetted finger it has a soapy touch.
The matrix was found at adepth of $50
feet Since it was found the excavation
has been sunk to 200 feet beneath the
surface.
The diamonds visible on the surface
are mainly of octahedron shape Ma
ture has already given them fine cut,
after the style of the crystal Then
others show no symmetry at all, being
merely irregularly formed diamonds,
looking like broken bits of glass They
are OF all colors and tints, but princi-
pally white
The value of the gems themselves is
considerable, but the matrix is far more
valuable as curiosity Mr.. Levy will
not estimate the value of the specimen,
put he is willing to wager $4,000 that
tnere IS not similar matrix in the
world.-New York Journal.
