OF the stones produced to the greatest
value in the United States. the tourma-
lines come from California Maine, Colo

Montana, North Carolina and Idaho;
chrysoprase from California; turquoise
from Arizona and New Mexico; the
spodumene gems kunzite and hddenite,
from California; and the beryls from Cal
ifornia Colorado, North Carolina. Massa-
chusetts, New Hampshire and Maine. The
rubies were reported as scattered finds
from North Carolina and Idaho.
The value of the diamonds in place

of the year, is not included in the sta

history Of the discovery and a descrip
ton of the manner of occurrence, pre-.
pared by Messrs. George F. Kunz and
Henry S. Washington is appended thereto
Each year there is an unrecorded pro.
duction of pearls from fresh water mus,
sells of many rivers of the United States
principally from the Mississippi valley
region, and pearls have also been found
along the Atlantic and gulf coast states
from Maine to Texas. The American
pearls vary so greatly in color and tint
that it is difficult to exactly match a
number of them for necklaces and other
jewelry. On the other hand. the exquisite
color and fine luster of our pearls more
than offsets the disadvantage of such lr-
regularities and makes them desired ir
the gem market.
The pearl industry is carried on in sucf
way that 1t is not possible to collect
statistics of production, but one of the
largest pearl dealers in the Mississippi
valley estimates the value of pearls ape
sugs produced in 1906 at $3s1.000. with
prices ranging from 81 to $1,000 each fol

The collection of statistics for the pro-
duction of precious stones is one of the
most difficult tasks performed by the
mineral resources branch of the United
States geological survey. Not only is
the production made up of small lots
and scattered finds brought in at different
times and disposed of to different peo.
pie, but often the persons mining gem
minerals do not care to furnish figures
showing the production, which then has
to be estimated or omitted entirely. For
tunately for the statisticlan, the men will

number those of the secretive class.
In an advance chapter from Mineral
Resources of the United States, Calendar
Year 1906" on the production of precious
stones in 1905. Mr.. Douglas B. Sterrett
of the United States geological survey,
has brought together all available infor-
nation concerning the gem production of
the United States as well as that of other
important producing countries.
In comparison with this country's vast
production of the utilitarian minerals. :ts
output of those used chiefly for orna-
ment is insignificant OF the precious
stones of all kinds Except pearls) pro-
duced in the United States in 1906, the
total value was but s20S,00O, and nearly
$4,000 of this amount represents the
