as in the Bezoar or Onyx r one within another. This Stone 
is found in feveral parts in Afia and Europe. Harder than 
the Onyx, or the Agate \ and is therefore figur d with 
Emery. Hereof anciently Cup were made, and thofe Difhes 
call'd Vafa Myrrhina. See Worm. 
The JASPIS. Anopacous Gem$ always, faith Laet, ( a ) ( *> uh '& 
with fome kind of earthynefs. But I take this to be only 
the property of the Lapis Nephriticus. 'Tis found of moll 
colours 5 of which here is fome variety. 
A GREEN JASPIS, ftained with White Spots. 
A Flefh-colour d JASPIS, with Blackilh Stria. 
ANOTHER, ftained with Purple and Blew Spots mixe§ 
together. 
A FOURTH, ftained with white and red Spots. 
A FIFTH, Variegated with White, Carnation,Red, dark 
Green, and bright Green Veins and Spots. Very like to 
thofe, which Boetius faith are plentifully found in Bohemia. 
A GEOMETRICK JASPER. It feemeth at lead of 
affinity with the Lapis Sa?iguinalis defcribed in Boetius. {b) ^\\^ t 
But is certainly one fort of Lapps Cruciformk. (c) This Monar'des.^ 
here is polifh'd into a plain Oval Figure, or flat on both ^J'l/f 
fides. About an inch and \ long, and 5 thick. In the centre Metaii. ° ' 
or middle part of both fides ftands a Rhumb or Diamond- 
fquare part, of a blackilh Green. From the four Angles 
whereof are produced as many Lines of the fame colour 5 
and from each of thefe, two more, at acute Angles 5 the 
extreme parts whereof compofe four more green Parts, as 
it were half Rhumbs : all joyn'd together with a circle near 
the Rim of the Stone. Amongft thefe, fome yellow and 
red Spots are fprinkled up and down. 
A Bag of a courfe fort of JASPER Stones, knock off 
from thofe in Wilts-fhire near Maryborough , called The 
Grey-Weathers. Given by John Aubrey Efqj. So hard, that 
no Tool will touch them. Generally of a light Grey,fome 
almoft white, many of a dirty red. 
Another, of a blewilh Grey. Taken from a like fhelf of 
Stones at Stone-heng. ? Tis hard enough to fcratch Glafs. • 
Another like a green Pebble, found in one of the Streets 
of this City. Where alfo, faith the fore-mentioned Perfon, 
many more are met with, and that they are a fort of Jafper> 
brought, as Ballaft, from the Eaft~Indies.
