A New Mineral from Ceylon

Nature volume 69, page 533 (1904)Cite this article

Abstract

IN the beginning of February I bought from Mr. Holland 5 cwt. of the mineral described by Prof. Dunstan in last week's NATURE (p. 510). It crystallises in cubes, and the density is substantially that found by him. Mr. Tyrer, of the Stirling Chemical Works, Stratford, was so kind as to promise to work it up for me, and the process is still being carried on.
