The serpentine rock with the newly manu-
factured name of Ricolite found on the Gila
river near Carlisle is a beautiful ornamental
stone for architectural ornaments. It is banded
with alternate strata of gray and green colors
from one half to one inch in thickness. It rapidly
gained the front rank in favor in the east, and
the demand is greater than the supply, for the
reason that transportation facilities are meagre.
It is susceptible of a fine finish and is quite
durable. This is probably the only deposit of
it in the world, as no mention is made of such
a rock in any work on geology or lithology.
