[3021] Ajasson is of opinion that Diallage is here meant, known also by the names of Bronzite, schillerspath, schillerstein, and omphasite.
[3022] See B. iv. c. 11.
[3023] “In sole” seems a preferable reading to “in solo,” “on the ground,” as given by the Bamberg MS.
[3024] See Chapter [39] of this Book; where it will be shown that this probably is not the modern Sapphire.
[3025] Ajasson suggests that these may have been Quartz agates of the dendritic or arborized kind.
[3026] He probably alludes here to some variety of the Chalcedony or Opal quartz.
[3027] Said with reference to Chrysoprase, Ajasson thinks; a leek-green chalcedony, coloured by nickel.
[3028] Probably the Cacholong of modern mineralogy, a variety of opal, nearly opaque, and of a porcelain or bluish white colour.
[3029] Ajasson and Brotero identify this with milk-white chalcedony; but on what authority, does not appear.
