Historical Definition
Sal anathron is salt extracted from stony moss.
Meaning
Stony moss is the source’s descriptive name. The phrase should remain visible rather than being silently converted into a botanical identification. The sentence says extraction, but gives no detailed preparation.
Use in the Book
Anathron describes a salt growing on rocks like white, stony moss. That earlier entry supplies a particularly useful comparison for the source material named here. Sal anathron specifies an extracted salt, while the fuller Anathron description records appearance and disputed names. The source material and an extracted preparation should not automatically be treated as the same stage.
Places to Read
Sal crystallinum. A salt preparation identified by its human source.
Sal Calcotharinum. A salt derived from vitriolic colcothar.
Anathron. A rock-associated salt described through appearance and disputed identification.
