—Varieties of steatite^ among which the most re¬ 
markable are those from Cornwall, that of a yel¬ 
lowish green colour from Greenland, that from 
Gbpfersgriin in Bareuth, with small crystals of other 
mineral substances, converted into, and forming 
part of, the massive steatite.—^To these are added 
some substances which are allied to the preceding, 
though dilferent from them with regard to their 
chemical composition; such as the agahnatolite 
of Klaproth (bildstein of Werner, talc glaphique 
of Haiiy), employed by the Chinese for carving 
images, vessels, &c.—^The keffekil or meerschaum, 
from Natolia, of which pipe bowls are made; and 
a related substance, called keffekilite by Dr. Fischer, 
who discovered it in the Crimea.— Lithornargey 
the more remarkable varieties of which are, that 
j of a reddish yellow colour, from Rochlitz, in por¬ 
phyry ; the fine purplish blue variety from Planitz, 
called terra miraculosa Saxonica by old writers.—
