A New Mineral.

A new mineral has been discovered at Allchar, in Macedonia, by Professor Krenner, who named it lorandite. It is found in short prismatic crystals, and more rarely in rhomboidal prisms. Its color varies between cochineal and cardinal red; the crystals are transparent and flexible, like those of gypsum.
