Of thefe lightly burnt, is made that which is properly called 
Gypfum, And Statues of any defirable bignefs,yet very light. 
A LIME-STONE (Saxum Calcarium ) having greenifh 
Veins mixed with a lilver glofs. This being burnt, is that 
commonly called Quick: Liaue. Pli?iy mentions a mix¬ 
ture of Quid^Lime and Hogs-Greafe , ufually call'd 
Maltha: whence our Englijh word Mortar. 'Tis alfo 
ufed for the Trying of Ores, (a) Boetius deferibes an 
Aqua Calcis , mixed with Sal Armoniac , as an admirable 
Remedy for Bums, Fiftulas, Cancers , and Spots in the Eyes 5 
^p Dl i , Lap ‘ he adds, and Spots in Cotton-Cloaths. (b) 
c.2 9 \. 2 ' FLAKED DROPSTONE. Stalactites Lam in atm. Found 
in the top of the Hills near Wooten Vnderridge in Gloucefter- 
0 ) Mufaum /hire. In Aldrovaudits (c) are feveral of thefe called Sued 
Concreti. 
ANOTHER, digged from under the Root of a Tree in 
Cre-Forre/l. Given by Dr. Edward Brown. 
A SPONGY DROPSTONE, of an aih-colour, as the 
reft. 
A piece or two of finall Dropftones fent from Fendennk- 
Caftle: faid to to have had a ftrong feent 5 but now hath 
none. 
Yellow GREAT-GLIST. Ammochryfos, Boetio. So call’d, 
for that it confifts of a great number of gloily fparks almoft 
of the colour of Gold, immerfed in a gritty Bed. And by 
Wormim and others therefore called Mica. 
White GREAT-GLIST. Ammargyros, as I call it, the 
fparks in this being of a bright filver-colour. 
Kentman (d) ranketh both thefe with Mufcovy-Glafs. 
And 'tis plain, That the faid fparks are flaky, and flexible, 
as that Stone : and is therefore either the fame broken to 
fmall pieces, in digging for it 3 or, at leaft, an aftay of Na¬ 
ture towards it. But Purely no Metallick Body, as Wormim 
fuppofeth it 5 unlefs he means, that 'tis fometimes found in 
Metallick Mines. 
A Red DAZE, or fmall GLIST, from Cornwall. It dif¬ 
fers from the Mica, chiefly, in the fmallnefs of the 
fparks. For they feem to me, to be altogether of the fame 
nature. 
A Brown DAZE (from the fame place) with an angu¬ 
lar Vein of yellow Daze m it 3 and both mixed with very 
fmall 
(d) Foffil.
