Text: "59. The Astroites or Starry Stone, is a Stone of as uncertain and indeterminate Shape as are any of the Balls or Nodules of the first and second Class: But has its Surface distinguish'd in a particular manner; it being adorned with Asterises or Star-like Figures, resembling those upon a Celestial Globe. Upon which Account it has the Name of Astroites: and is placed amongst the Stone of certain and regular Figures. There are three more noted general Varieties of it, with Respect of the Figure of its Stars: That with the Concave: That with the Plane: And that with the Convex Stars. Of each of these there are subordinate Varieties with Respect of the Figure: Or of the constituent Matter of the Stars: Or of some other observable Circumstances of them. In this they pretty nearly all agree, that the Stars they exhibit are compos'd of Rays or Striae, respecting one common Center: As also in this, that the Stars are set so close as to touch each other... |
