Blowpipe
(3) on charcoal. Gives off some sulphur, which burns with a blue
flame. Residue fuses to a magnetic bead.
(4) in forceps. --
(5) in borax. The roasted mineral gives a strong iron
reaction.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. Fuses to a black mass, which spreads out on
charcoal and gives the sulphur reaction on
silver.
(8) Special reactions. --

Mineral. Magnetic pyrites
Formula.
[,Fe]^{5}[,,,Fe=].
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. --
(2) in open tube. Evolves sulphurous acid.
(3) on charcoal. Fuses to a magnetic bead black on the surface,
and with a yellow shining fracture.
(4) in forceps. --
(5) in borax. As iron pyrites.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. As iron pyrites.
(8) Special reactions. --

Mineral. Mispickel
Formula. FeAs + FeS^{2}.
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. A red sublimate of AsS^{2} is first formed and
then a black sublimate of metallic arsenic.
(2) in open tube. Sulphurous and arsenious acids are evolved, the
latter forming a white sublimate.
(3) on charcoal. Gives off much arsenic forming a white
incrustation and fuses to a magnetic globule.
(4) in forceps. --
(5) in borax. As iron pyrites.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. As iron pyrites.
(8) Special reactions. --

Mineral. Magnetic iron ore
Formula. Fe^{3}O^{4}
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. --
(2) in open tube. --
(3) on charcoal. --
(4) in forceps. In the blue flame, fuses on edges and remains
magnetic.
(5) in borax. Gives the iron reaction.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. --
(8) Special reactions. --

Mineral. Specular iron
Red haematite
Formula. Fe^{2}O^{3}
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. --
(2) in open tube. --
(3) on charcoal. --
(4) in forceps. V. In the blue flame is converted into
Fe^{2}O^{4}, and then behaves as the preceding.
(5) in borax. As magnetic iron ore.
(6) in mic. salt. As in borax.
(7) with carb. soda. --
(8) Special reactions. --

Mineral. Göthite
Formula. [...Fe][.H].
Behavior
(1) in glass-bulb. Evolves water.
(2) in open tube. --
