Crystals of mispickel are occasionally found in long brilliant tin-white prisms of simple habit in the cavities of the dolomite at Lengenbach, near Binn ; but they are more frequent as isolated crystals entirely imbedded in a rather compact mass of the dolomite. The crystals are elongated in the direction of the brachy-axis, and are terminated by two minute faces which give good images and prove to be the faces usually adopted as the prism {110}. The long faces are much striated parallel to their mutual edges of intersection ; and the images were consequently so elongated in this zone that only roughly approximate measurements of the angles could be obtained. The brachydomes satisfactorily established were s {012} and l {011}.
