This mineral presents various shades of brown, indigo-blue, or steel-grey; by transmitted light it is greenish-yellow. It occurs in small crystals, having the general form of an acute octahedron with equal and similar isosceles triangular faces, which is the form of the primary crystal; the crystals exhibit the planes of several modifications; structure lamellar; cleavage both parallel to the faces of the octahedron, and perpendicular to the axis; lustre of the fragments splendent and

to the faces of the cube; brittle. Before the blowpipe it is partly volatilized, disengaging vapours of antimony, and sometimes of arsenic, and ultimately melts into a metallic globule, which communicates a blue colour to glass of borax. It is acted upon by nitric acid, forming an immediate precipitate, and colouring the solution green. It occurs in several of the mines near Freussberg in the principality of Nassau, with sparry-iron, galena, and copper pyrites. [page] 29

Immediately round us were mountainous eminences, and dark cliffy precipices which cast a

On the lofty and broken pinnacles, white massive clouds were piled up, which formed an island in the blue sky, as Eimeo itself did in the blue ocean.
