of this there are manyvarieties.The sixth species has a pallid whiteness, is called Corithius.For the rest, all thoseCarbuncles which have a sharper and more liquescent brilliance, which are more black and morelucid than others, are termed masculine, while to all those which have a feebler light the name offeminine is applied.The best Carbuncles are called Methystisonte because their extreme glitteringapproaches the violet of the amethyst.Very nearly allied to the Carbuncle is the Syrtites of Callistratus and Pliq which radiates a kind ofbroken or feathery light, and has been spoken of as a species of white Carbuncle.Moreover, thatAnthracrite which is so similar appearance and in qualities to coal, and is mined in Thesprotia, isclassified by Pliny (1.37, c.8) as a species of Carbuncle.The Greeks would appear to have calledmany substances by the generic name of Anthracias (Anthrax), for example, natural cinnabar, redlead, vermilion, minium, hematite, and for Carbuncle itself, of which the Rubinus, or Lychnis, isundoubtedly also a species.The same Pliny describes a variety of Anthracite which is encircles bywhite lines, and which is reckoned to be superior from its colour.More over, it has the peculiaritythat if it be cast into the fire, it perishes, losing all its lustre; but if sprinkled, on the contrary, withwater, it seems to burst into flame.Related to this is the Garamantitis, or Sandastron of India, whichalso is found in Arabia, and in its translucent depths seems to be glittering; with golden drops.There is also a stone which has a purple or scarlet colon and radiance; when warmed by the frictionof the fingers, or by the heat of the sun, it will attract straws; it is found in Caries and Orchosa, andma probably in India; it belongs, according to Pliny, to the Lychnis species, be is also, as it were, akind of deficient Carbuncle.Our own Rubinus is species of Lychnis.Albertus also bears witnessthat the Carbuncle was called Anthrax by the Greeks, and that it was made to shine like a live coalin the dark when it was placed in a glass vessel and sprinkled with clear water.The species variedaccording to the country of its origin, and the splendour, a the substance thereof.There are gemsfound in our own mines which, plunged in water, seem to dissolve by their own fire; and these areof the nature Carbuncles.It should also be noted that Albertus describes a gem, which calls Pelagia, possibly after that kind of shell-fish which produces a pure dye, and is mentioned by Pliny as thePurpura, or Pelagia.It is of a transparent ruby colour, and is either a feminine Carbuncle, or else isthe house of a gem, because a Carbuncle is found in its matrix.There are also stones which arepartly Pelagia and partly Carbuncle.For other information concern the Carbuncle, consult Pliny,Solinus, and others.Other Carbuncles:1.Garnet from Meissen.2.Zeblicius, mined in the hill which is over against the stone-quarry whence Ophites are obtained;very plentiful in the neighbouring river.3.Ethiopian, or Oriental Garnet.4.A Bright Red Ruby.5.Amethystizon, or Ruby.6.Lychnis, or Yellowish Ruby.7.Falsified Carbuncle, combined with Crystals, usually having a colour like the Amethyst.8.Alabandicus, a precious Garnet from Asia.CARBUNCULUS --- A poisonous Ulcer, much the same as anthrax, which, however, is of a morecruel character; and from the thick black blood, of which it is adhering, it more quickly eats into theflesh.CARDANUM --- Garden Saffron.CARDIS MARS --- Iron.CARDONIUM VINUM --- i.e., Wine medicated with herbs.CARENA --- The twenty-fourth part of a drop.CARIUM TERRAE --- Lime.CARMITI --- i.e., Obulus, or Farthing.CARNIT, CANNA, CUSANUM --- Various kinds of vessels.CARSI --- i.e., Saline Water.CAS --- i.e., Gold.CASA --- A House inhabited by the Superintendent of the mine.CASA CAMPHORA --- Camphor.CASEUS PREPARATUS --- is the worthless residue remaining in the dregs of milk flowing fromcheese.
