Description: | *non loc.* unknown From William Hunter's original collection. May well be some of the type material described by Peter Woulfe in 1779, from "Obermoschel in the Dutchy of Deux Ponts". Woulfe provided Hunter with several specimens of calomel and other mercury minerals (eg Jan. 29 1776). . This is probably Mercury no. 6 in the Trustees catalogue of 1794-7: "6. Corrosive sublimate of a brown colour lining the cavities of a kind of Plumbpudding Stone whose cement is Cinnabar,a calx of Iron formed into masses similar to Hematites only breaking with a glassy surface and the Masses cemented together consists of Quartz, there are also globules of Quicksilver". | License: | http://www.hmag.gla.ac.uk/spirit/rights/ | Publisher: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Rights holder: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Subjects: | MINERAL : ORIGINAL BEQUEST : SULPHIDE : HALIDE : OXIDE : TUCSON EXHIBIT 2006 : : HUNTER 2007 : : | Source: | Hunterian Museum | Creator: | Hunterian Museum and Art Gallery, University of Glasgow | Identifier: | http://www.huntsearch.gla.ac.uk/cgi-bin/... | Language: | en-GB | Go to resource |
