CHAP. CIV. Another Oriental Sapphire.
THE Past for this Sapphire will be nearer the Ori∣ental Colour than the former. Take two Oun∣ces of Natural Crystal prepared, six Ounces of Mi∣nium; to which add two Scruples of Zaffer, prepa∣red as in Chap. 17, and six Grains of Manganese also prepared as by Chap. 18, the whole reduced to fine Powder; mix them well together, and put them in a Crucible, and cover and lute it well; then put them in the Furnace to bake the same space of time as be∣fore shewn, and you'll have an Oriental Sapphire of a very fine Violet-colour.
