Lijst van mineralen in de collectie Burtin (blad 2) 1800 - 1814

François Xavier de Burtin's "Lijst van mineralen in de collectie Burtin (blad 2)" from 1800-1814 is a handwritten manuscript detailing a collection of minerals. This page, like many others in the collection, lists observations and analyses of different types of minerals, including their colors, origins, and chemical composition. This page focuses on a group of minerals known as "galena" or lead sulfide, which are typically used in lead smelting. These meticulously handwritten pages reflect Burtin's deep knowledge of mineralogy and his passion for collecting and classifying natural specimens.
