Description: | *non loc.* unknown Nice. From William Hunter's original collection. The Trustees catalogue under Quartz gives "No 78. A large and two smaller cups, one Saucer, and three covers for snuff-boxes of Oriental Onyx which is remarkable for having a clouded appearance when looked through. They also contain crystallizations of brown Calx of Iron". Although this doesn't mention the agate balls, these items were catalogued together in the museum in the early 20th century, and this has been maintained here. | 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 : EH_HUNTER_MINERALS : | 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 |
