- quicksilver, lead, copper, vitriol, crystal, glass, mineral slime.
Meaning
Argentum vivum names quicksilver; Cuprum copper; plumbum lead; Vitriol, Crystall and Vitrum are vitriol, crystal and glass; Limus Mineralis is mineral slime. Saturnus ordinarily names lead in the alchemical vocabulary, but the source separately prints Saturnus and plumbum, and the list must not be silently deduplicated. These are alleged products in the main narrator’s first-person claim about one animal-derived matter. The names show the asserted range of results, not independently verified identities or an implied procedure.
