In detenmning the name of a mineral bj the preceding
table, trials should be made of the hardness and of the other
characters upon which the arrangement is based, as shown
in the general view on page 188. The particular subdi-
vision containing the species is thus arrived at, and also, by
means of the hardness, the place of the species in the sub.
division. Afterwards, by a comparison of the other charac-
ters, (specific gravitf, color, etc.,) with the brief descriptions
given in the table, the name of the mineral will be ascer-
tained. If any doubt still remains, the fidl^ descriptioiis ia
the body of the worlc may be re&rred to, for the convenience
of which reference, the page is added for each species.

TABUE I. FOS DaTBRMilCATIOir OF JORWULtJt. 403
The following hints maj be of service to the beginner in
the science, by enabling him to oTercome a difficulty in the
outs^ arising from the various forms and appearance of the
nunerab quartz and limestone. Quartz occurs of nearly
every color, and of various degrees of glassy luster to a dull
stone without the slightest glistening. The common grayish
cobble stones of the fields are usually quartz, and others
are dull red and brown ; from these there are gradual
transitions to the peUucid quartz crystal that looks like glass
itself. Sandstones and freestones are often whoUy quartz,
and the seashore sands are mostly of the same material. It is
there^Hre probaUe that this mineral will be often encountered
in mineralogical rambles. Let the first trial of specimens
obtained be made with a file or the point of a knife, or some
other means of trying the hardness ; if the file makes no im-
pression, there is reason to suspect the mineral to be quartz ;
and if on breaking it, no regular structure or cleavage plane
is observed, but it breaks in all directions with a similar
sur^e and a more or less vitreous luster, the probability is
much strengthened that this conclusion is correct The
blowpipe may next be used ; and if there is no fusion pro-
duced by it, when carefiilly used on a thin splinter, there can
be little doubt that the specimen is in &ct quartz.
Carbonate of lime (calc spar, including limestone,) is
another very common species. It the mineral collected is
rather easily impressible with a file, it maybe of this species :
if it eftervesces fi*ee]y when placed in a test-tube containing
dilute muriatic acid, and is finally dissolved, the probability
of its being carbonate of lime is increased : if the blowpipe
produces no trace of fusion, but a brilliant light from the
fragment befiMre it, but little doubt remains .on this point.
Crystalline fragments break with three equal oblique
cleavages.
Faimliarized with these two Protean minerals by the trials
here alluded to, the student has already surmounted the prin-
cipal difficulties in the way of future progress. Frequently
the young beginner, who has devoted some time to collecting
all the difierent colored stones in his neighborhood, on pre-
senting them for names to some practised mineralogist, is a
little disappointed to learn that, with two or three exceptions,
his large variety includes nothing but limestone and quartz.
He is perhaps gratified, however, at being told that he may

flint, and another homstone, others chert, granular quartz,
ferruginous quartz, chalcedony, prase* smoky quartz, greasj
quartz, milky quartz, agate, plasma, hyaline quartz, quartz
crystal, hasanite, radiated quartz, tabular quakz, etc. etc. ;
and it is ofien the case, in this state of his knowledge, that
he is best pleased with some treatise on the science in which
all these various stones are treated of with as much promi-
nence as if actually distinct species ; being loth to receive
the unwelcome truth, Uiat his whole extensive cabinet con-
tains only one mineial. But the mtneralogical student has
already made good progress when this truth is freely admit-
ted, and quartz and limestone, in all their varieties, have
become known to him.
To fiicilitate still &rther the study of minenils, the foUow
ing taUes are added
