Extract

When examining with the one inch object-glass of a compound microscope some pieces of Strathpeffer Albert coal, I happened to place on the stage a crystal of dichroite, and was surprised to observe its surface covered with circular impressions. Their resemblance to some which I had previously noticed on iron pyrites associated with Albertite, led to a further inspection, which showed that they were due to globular bodies of various colours distributed throughout the crystal in layers parallel to the respective faces.
