Et la ſu olor es como de alga marina. ⁊ dend toma eſte nõbre- Of the third degree of the sign of Libra is the stone they call algal; it is the second kind of sea foam. It is always found in the shape of a moon, more than in any other. It is dun mixed with some purple in color. It is bored through. It is heavy and thick in nature. Its smell is like that of seaweed, thus the name it has been given.
