In February 1890 Niven received "one of the best lots of minerals from Nova Scotia I have ever seen, comprising chabazite, gmelinite, analcite, stilbite and heulandite," and also offered for sale an intriguing specimen: "the finest, largest and best rhodonite specimen that doubtless has ever been found," priced very high (for the times) at $500.
