Dimensions: 9.7in. x 7.4in. x 0.7in.This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1822 Excerpt: . . . usually appears in masses, composed of thin laminae, collected into large prismatic concretions; and sometimes in hexaedral prisms or tables. Its natural joints are parallel to the sides of a prism, slightly rhombic; the angles of this prism are about 105 and 75, according to Mohs. Its structure is a little imperfectly foliated; and its lustre somewhat shining and pearly. It is easily broken, and has a splintery fracture. It scratches fluate of lime, but yields to the knife, and is sometimes friable. --It is translucenti and its color is grayish or pearly white, sometimes with a tinge of green, yellow, or red. Its specific gravity is about 2. 86. ---Vhen scraped in the dark with an iron point, it is phosphorescent. --According to some mineralogists, its powder phosphoresces on hot iron. When immersed in nitric acid, a few bubbles of air escape, and the fragment then falls into grains. It is fusible with some ebullition into a white glass. It contains, according to Klaproth, silex 50, lime 45, water 5. This mineral is very rare, and has been found chiefly at Orawitza and Dognatska, in the Bannat of Temesvar, accompanied by garnets, lamellar carbonate of lime, actynolite, and tremolite. --In Ceylon, it is found with cinnamon stone, in gneiss. --Near Capo di Bove, according to Brocchi, it occurs in basalt, and resembles tremolite; it contains 49 parts of silex and 36 parts of lime, the remainder being water, magnesia, iron, and carbonic acid.
