After having examined the Coagulation of those Particles that I Found inAqua fortis impregnated with Silver, and shewn, that these Particles had assum'd the Figure of so many rough Diamonds; I separated the Silver and melted it, and then poured freshaqua fortis upon it, to the end that I might once again discover the Chrystalline or Adamantine Figures thereof; but in vain, for I could only now and then meet with one single Chrystalline Figure of the Shape and Fashion of a Diamond.
