BOOK: DE RE
METALLICA, 1st Latin edition published in 1556.
During 180 years it was not superseded as the text-book and guide
to miners and metallurgists, for until Schluter's great work on
metallurgy in 1738 it had no equal.
P-107-08
Now we may classify gold ores. Next after native gold, we come
to the rudis (crude), of yellowish green, yellow, purple, black,
or outside red and inside gold color. These must be reckoned as
the richest ores, because the gold exceeds the stone or earth
in weight.
P-113-114
When considering silver ores other than native silver, those ores
are classified as rich, of which each one hundred librae contains
more than three librae of silver. This quality comprises rudis
silver, whether silver glance (gray) or ruby silver, or whether
white, or black, or grey, or purple, or yellow, or liver-colored,
or any other.

Look for a large parrot and/or
Lama head in the middle of the photograph. The beak/nostrils
( just left of center) opens up into a large hidden cave. This
could have originally been a Aztec Mine. This old mine is now part of
a wilderness area. |

This very old mine cave is about 20 feet wide, 40 feet long, and 8 feet high. Much mining was performed on surface gold ore deposits outside of this cave. This cave could have been used to house Indian slaves during the night. It has a narrow entrance in the parrots/Lamas nose that two guards could easily defend. SOLIDIFIED JUICES Solidified juices are either prepared from waters in which nature or art has infused them or they are prepared from the liquid themselves, or from stony minerals. |
