Meaning

Virginal earth is a named condition characterised in the passage by the absence of taste, smell and colour. Its purity-language belongs to the account of the human matter and the paired salts, rather than to an ordinary geographical soil. The source places it within a procedural passage, but these sensory predicates do not establish a modern chemical identity. This lexical explanation preserves the name and its described qualities without transmitting a method of preparation.
