A historical golden material designation listed with cinnabar, lazurium and precipitate in an account of return to living Mercury. Note 61 identifies the name as mosaic gold while preserving the source’s shared classification. The name does not make it ordinary gold, nor does the list establish that all its members have identical modern composition. Its lexical importance lies precisely in that potentially misleading gold-word.
