Alchemical Substances

Cadmia, which was also called Tuttia or Tutty, was probably Zinc Carbonate.

Philosophers' Wool, or Nix Alba (White Snow). Zinc Oxide made by burning Zinc in the air. Called Zinc White and used as a pigment.

White Vitriol. Zinc Sulfate. Described by Basil Valentine. Made by lixiviating roasted Zinc Blende (Zinc Sulfide).

Calamine. Zinc Carbonate.

Corrosive Sublimate. Mercuric Chloride. First mentioned by Geber, who prepared it by Subliming Mercury, Calcined Green Vitriol, Common Salt and Nitre.

Calomel. Mercurous Chloride. Purgative, made by subliming a mixture of Mercuric Chloride and metallic Mercury, triturated in a mortar. This was heated in an Iron pot and the crust of Calomel formed on the lid was ground to powder and boiled with Water to remove the very poisonous Mercuric Chloride.

Cinnabar. Mercuric Sulfide.

Turpeth Mineral. A hydrolyzed form of Mercuric Sulfate. Yellow crystalline powder, described by Basil Valentine.

Mercurius Praecipitatus. Red Mercuric Oxide. Described by Geber.

Cinnabar or Vermillion. Mercuric Sulfide.

Mosaic Gold. Golden-yellow glistening scales of crystalline Stannic Sulfide, made by heating a mixture of Tin filings, Sulfur, and Sal Ammoniac.

Tin Salt. Hydrated Stannous Chloride.

Spiritus Fumans. Stannic Chloride, discovered by Libavius in 1605, through distilling Tin with Corrosive Sublimate.

Butter of Tin. Hydrated Stannic Chloride.

Galena. Plumbic Sulfide. Chief Ore of Lead.

Lead Fume. Lead Oxide obtained from the flues at Lead smelters.

Massicot. Yellow powder form of Lead Monoxide.

Litharge. Reddish-yellow crystalline form of Lead Monoxide, formed by fusing and powdering Massicot.

Minium or Red Lead. Triplumbic Tetroxide. Formed by roasting Litharge in air. Scarlet crystalline powder.

Naples Yellow, or Cassel Yellow. An Oxychloride of Lead, made by heating Litharge with Sal Ammoniac.

Chrome Yellow. Lead Chromate.

Sugar of Lead. Lead Acetate, made by dissolving Lead Oxide in Vinegar.

White Lead. Basic Carbonate of Lead. Used as a pigment.

Venetian White. Mixture of equal parts of White Lead and Barium Sulfate.

Dutch White. Mixture of one part of white lead to three of Barium Sulfate.

Antimony. From Latin 'antimuonium' used by Constantinius Africanus (c. 1050) to refer to Stibnite.

Glass of Antimony. Impure Antimony Tetroxide, obtained by roasting Stibnite. Used as a yellow pigment for Glass and Porcelain.

Butter of Antimony. White crystalline Antimony Trichloride. Made by Basil Valentine by distilling roasted Stibnite with Corrosive Sublimate. Glauber later prepared it by dissolving Stibnite in hot concentrated Hydrochloric Acid and distilling.

Powder of Algaroth. A white powder of Antimonious Oxychloride, made by precipitation when a solution of Butter of Antimony in Spirit of Salt is poured into Water.

Stibnite. Antimony Trisulfide. Grey mineral Ore of Antimony.

Chrome Yellow. Lead Chromate.

Chrome Red. Basic Lead Chromate.

Chrome Orange. Mixture of Chrome Yellow and Chrome Red.

Green Vitriol. Ferrous Sulfate.

Rouge, Crocus, Colcothar. Red varieties of Ferric Oxide are formed by burning Green Vitriol in air.

Marcasite. Mineral form of Iron Disulfide. Oxidizes in moist air to Green Vitriol.

Copper Glance. Cuprous Sulfide Ore.

Aes Cyprium. Cyprian Brass or Copper.

Cuprite. Red Cuprous Oxide Ore.

Blue Vitriol or Bluestone. Cupric Sulfate.

Verdigris. The green substance formed by the atmospheric weathering of Copper. This is a complex basic Carbonate of Copper. In more recent times the term 'Verdigris' is more correctly applied to Copper Acetate, made by the action of Vinegar on Copper.

Resin of Copper. Cuprous Chloride. Made by Robert Boyle in 1664 by heating Copper with Corrosive Sublimate.

Lunar Caustic, Lapis Infernalis. Silver Nitrate.

Fulminating Silver. Silver Nitride, very explosive when dry. Made by dissolving Silver Oxide in Ammonia.

Horn Silver, Argentum Cornu. A glass like Ore of Silver Chloride.

Luna Cornea. The soft colorless tough mass of Silver Chloride, made by heating Horn Silver till it forms a dark yellow liquid and then cooling. Described by Oswald Croll in 1608.

Purple of Cassius. Made by Andreas Cassius in 1685 by precipitating a mixture of Gold, Stannous, and Stannic Chlorides, with Alkali. Used for coloring glass.
