Plate 26 from Mineralogie: A Crystallized Yellow Tin (Stannic Oxide) Octahedron with the Beginning of a Prism, from the Complete Recueil de Mineralogie by F.L. Swebach Desfontaines (1769-1847) This exquisite mineralogical illustration, Plate 26 from the Complete Recueil de Mineralogie by F.L. Swebach Desfontaines, showcases a stunning crystallized yellow tin (stannic oxide) specimen. The mineral is displayed in an octahedral shape, with the emergence of a prism at its edge. The observation of such mineral formations was a significant contribution to the field of mineralogy during the late 18th century. Desfontaines, a renowned French mineralogist and geologist, meticulously documented various mineral species in his extensive works. In this particular plate, the yellow tin crystal is presented with great detail and precision, reflecting the artist's dedication to accurate representation. The illustration was produced during the late 1700s, a time when the study of minerals and their classification was gaining increasing importance in the scientific community. The Plate 26 mineralogical specimen is a testament to the beauty and complexity of the natural world, offering a glimpse into the intricacies of geological formations. This illustration serves as an essential record in the history of mineralogy, showcasing the remarkable progress made in the understanding and documentation of mineral species during the late 18th century. F.L. Swebach Desfontaines' Mineralogie and the Complete Recueil de Mineralogie remain valuable resources for researchers and mineral enthusiasts, providing a window into the past and offering insights into the rich history of mineralogy and geology.
